Illinois Yearly Meeting will hold a work day for maintenance of the McNabb campus.

Fall Workday takes place at the ILYM Campus in McNabb, IL on Saturday, October 3rd from ~9 am to ~5 pm. Come help take care of our campus. We will be cleaning up the Meetinghouse and Clear Creek House, straightening out the tool room, moving things from the old to the new Bunkhouse and the Storage Shed, picking up sticks, trimming trees and shrubs, stowing the window A/C units, fixing cabin steps and screen doors, removing weeds and plants against buildings, maybe some painting and light carpentry. If you have some tools that would help with these tasks please bring them along. A fun time will be enjoyed by all!

Veggie and Turkey Chili will be provided by Kate for lunch but bring a little food or drink to share.

There will be a short program after lunch. Contemplating Earthcare at ILYM:

As we gather to work together on the land we steward as the ILYM campus, join us in celebrating the gifts of the Earth and in contemplating how we comport ourselves as we care for the Earth. During our lunch break, our Quaker Earthcare Witness representatives and our Environmental Concerns Committee clerk will introduce QEW’s “Day of Action” and invite Friends to enter into worship sharing to entertain opportunities for ways forward.
