Hello, I have ancestors who attended those meetings in SC. Are there web sites that have information about about these meetings and the names of those who attended them? I might be able to share information, too, that I have found. Thank you in advance to any help, Sincerely, Susan Davis www.tribalpages.com/tribes/shasta4737 -----Original Message----- From: Judith F.

Send all thoughts, ideas, comments, and your interests in volunteering on one or more committees to me at jrussell2@charter.net ] To all South Carolina Quaker researchers and descendants: I am very pleased to announce that plans are in the works for a spring 2013 Quaker Homecoming in Newberry and Union Counties, South Carolina. The dates are May 2 - 5, Thurs through Sunday, 2013. Please mark your calendars and make plans to come! Along with our previously known Bush River contacts, we have expanded our mailing list to include many of the Union County Quaker researchers and descendants that we haven't had a chance to meet yet. We hope that they'll join us in planning, implementing, and participating in this Homecoming. Some of the Union County Quaker families (many with Newberry connections also) are Addington, Clark/Clerk, Cook, Cooper, Dodd, Edmundson, Fincher, Gist, Haskit, Hooker, Hunt, Kenworthy, Lamb, Martindell, Milhouse, Minton, Neaderman, Pearson, Randel, Roberts, Smith, Spray,Townsend, Whiston, and Wilson. I've included a tentative agenda for the weekend's activity. YOUR COMMITTEE VERY MUCH NEEDS AND WELCOMES HELP FOR ALL OF THE EVENTS LISTED BELOW!! If you are not able to be there in person, please consider working on one of the committees listed below and communicating with others electronically to submit a report. We hope to have computer projector accessibility at this meeting to view reports. Let Judy Russell ( jrussell2@charter.net ) know of your interest in working on a project, and she'll put those interested in touch with each other. Please forward this email to any person or group that might be interested in joining our activities. We are very excited to have plans in the works for this meeting. Give us your thoughts, comments and ideas! We look forward to hearing from you. With Best wishes!
