I do live in Georgia, so hopefully I will have the chance to visit them. Thank you very much.

And also thank you, Richard.

Comment by Micah Bales on 4th mo. 19, 2011 at 4:26pm: Hi, Dianne -

I don't know where you are in the Southeast, but in addition to NCYM-C Friends, I'd also encourage you to check out Chattahoochee Friends, near Atlanta, Georgia. My family and I had the chance to visit them this last Sunday, and it was a blessed time. A very special group of people!

Comment by Richard B. Miller on 4th mo. 19, 2011 at 3:40pm: You can find the list of our monthly meetings on our website ncymc.org

Comment by Dianne Vergos on 4th mo. 19, 2011 at 3:38pm: I attended Orange Grove Meeting in Pasadena for about 5 months and it was wonderful, but I have recently relocated to the Southeast. So I am fairly new to Quaker meetings, but I find it such a good fit for me. I'd like to find out where the North Carolina conservative groups are located.

Comment by Debrah on 2nd mo. 27, 2011 at 10:12am: Thank you for writing on this subject. To me it is an essential element which we need in place.
