On Sunday, June 28, 2026, there will be an in-person and hybrid information session and conversation about our sister meeting relationship with Cuban Quakers and Velasco Meeting at Portland Friends Meeting. A ZOOM link will be provided closer to the event and added to this post.
After Worship and a potluck, from 12 – 2, Portland Durham and Dover meetings are invited.
We will share information about the current situation in the island including a current summary from the presiding clerk of Cuba Yearly Meeting (CYM). The exorbitant fuel prices caused by the embargo impact all aspects of life, including the cost of food, the ability to travel, the availability of electricity, and the ability of hospitals and schools to provide services.
We will share stories and photos from the three recent trips from Portland, Dover and Durham to the island.
We will explain the history and current structure of the Puente de Amigos (Amor) which holds the sister meeting relationship between CYM Friends and New England Friends,
We will begin to explore the possibility of accepting the invitation to send a work trip to work on specific projects for CYM Meetings.
