Lenna Mae Gara drafted an obituary and a memorial minute for Marjorie Young. These were read and approved. In addition, the following actions were approved:
The obituary will be delivered to the Wilmington News-Journal for publication the week before the memorial meeting. Dale Hayes is authorized to disburse the $60 charge from meeting funds
Patricia Thomas will send the memorial minute to both yearly meetings
The memorial minute is attached to these minutes and will be handed out to attenders of the memorial meeting.
The oversight committee for the memorial meeting will consist of Dale Hayes, Terry Miller and Bob Powell
Appeal from Langley Hill Friends Meeting
Friends considered the appeal received last month from the Langley Hill Friends Meeting for action on the plight of Afghan and Iraqi prisoners held by the United States. The appeal was made in memory of Tom Fox, a member of their meeting held captive and ultimately slain in Iraq by insurgents. Langley Hill Friends appealed to other meetings to demand that the US notify the families of the detained of the whereabouts of their loved ones and the nature of the charges against them. Richard Coleman reported that the Supreme Court has since ruled that the families must be notified, but there is at this time no requirement for the US to make known on what charges the prisoners are being held.
Friends approved drafting a letter to our two senators and our congressman expressing our concern about this matter. Richard Coleman will draft the letter and bring it to monthly meeting in June.
New Business
Distribution of the minutes
The recording clerk reported that some members are experiencing long download time on receiving the minutes as e-mail attachments. Three alternatives were discussed: reverting to hard copy mailings for all, continuing as we have for the last several months, or putting the minutes on one of the free blogging services. Ohio Valley Yearly Meeting has had good results with the latter method.
The meeting approved a trial of hosting the minutes on the world wide web. The recording clerk will notify all members when the site is up.
Quaker Fellowship Luncheons
Patricia Thomas reported a conversation with Martha Shelton about the tradition of Quaker Fellowship Luncheons. This tradition has fallen into disuse in recent years. Wilmington Friends Meeting is interested in reviving them and Martha wishes to know whether Campus Friends would join the effort. After short discussion, friends approved our participation. Patricia will inform Martha. The luncheons will resume in the fall.
Graduation gift for Levi Tkach
Friends discussed several ideas for a suitable gift. Friends approved purchasing two books, Holy Silence by Brent Bill and A Near Sympathy by Michael L. Birkel from meeting funds. The books will be available at Meeting for Worship for friends to sign.
Wilmington Yearly Meeting
Friends are reminded for planning purposes that Yearly Meeting will be held July 6-9 at Friendsville Friends Meetinghouse in Friendsville, Tennessee. The theme of the meeting is “Not conformed, but transformed” (Romans 12: 1-2).
Inner Search
There will be one more session on Stillness Speaks. The next series of sessions will examine Meister Eckhardt, also by Tolle.
The meeting concluded with a period of silent worship.

Obituary for Marjorie Young
MARJORIE HOPE YOUNG
1923-2006
Marjorie Hope Young, 83, of Wilmington, died 10:45 p.m. Tuesday (April 11, 2006) at the Wilmington Care and Rehabilitation Center. Her husband, James H. Young, to whom she was married August 7, 1971, died in 2001.
Marjorie Young was born January 15, 1923 in Lakewood, Ohio, the daughter of Carl A. Hope and Ethel M. Jones Hope. Educated in the Lakewood public schools, she was a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and held graduate degrees from Columbia University and New York University. She traveled extensively in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America, and lived for lengthy periods in France, Germany and Italy. She was a social worker, professor and writer. Besides publishing numerous articles in professional journals and newspapers, Marjorie Young was author, or co-author with her husband, of five books dealing with human rights, nonviolence, peace and environmental issues. From 1975 to 1988 she and her husband held a joint appointment as associate professors of sociology and social work at Wilmington College. Both were members of Campus Friends Meeting.
Marjorie Young is survived by her sister, Cynthia Hope, three nieces and three step sons. She was laid to rest beside her beloved husband and partner in the burial ground of the Friends Meetinghouse at East Sandwich, Massachusetts. A memorial service will be held 3:30 p.m. on June 17 in the Quaker Heritage Center Meetinghouse at Wilmington College. Memorial contributions may be made to Greenpeace, 702 H Street NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20001; the American Friends Service Committee, 915 Salem Ave., Dayton, OH 45406; or Community Care Hospice, PO Box 123, Wilmington OH 45177
Memorial Minute for Marjorie Young
MARJORIE HOPE YOUNG
1923-2006
Marjorie Hope Young, 83, of Wilmington, died April 11, 2006 after a lengthy illness. Her husband, James H. Young, to whom she was married August 7, 1971, died May 26, 2001. Born January 15, 1923 in Lakewood, Ohio, the daughter of Carl A. Hope and Ethel M. Jones Hope, Marjorie Young was educated in the Lakewood public schools, Sarah Lawrence College, Columbia University and New York University.
Immediately after World War II she did social work in war-ravaged France and also worked as a fashion model, a combination that caught the attention of Life magazine, which highlighted her adventures. In subsequent years she traveled extensively in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and South America, and lived for longer periods in France, Germany and Italy. A social worker and writer, Marjorie Hope Young was author, or co-author with her husband, of numerous articles in professional journals and newspapers, and five books: Youth Against the World (1965); The Struggle for Humanity: Agents of Non-violence in a Violent World (1977); South African Churches in a Revolutionary Situation (1981); Faces of Homelessness (1986); and Voices of Hope in the Struggle to Save the Planet (2000).
From 1975 to 1988, Marjorie Hope Young and her husband held a joint appointment as associate professors of sociology and social work at Wilmington College. During those years they became members of Campus Friends Meeting where they shared their enthusiasm and deep concern for environmental causes and the many issues relating to human rights, justice and peace. Their concern for simple living and conservation led them to use bicycles for transportation whenever possible, even in commuting from their country home. The sight of Marjorie’s determined peddling to and from campus reminded the college community of the importance of efforts to save the Planet.. Their home was Marjorie’s refuge, the place where she wrote while enjoying its natural beauty, and from which she reached out to address human and spiritual problems. After Jim’s passing, she remained there alone until deteriorating health made that impossible. Her many friends helped cheer her during her long months in care centers, and in turn they learned from her courage and determination.
She is survived by her sister, Cynthia Hope, three nieces and three step sons. She was laid to rest beside her beloved husband and partner in the burial ground near the site of their wedding, East Sandwich Friends Meetinghouse in Massachusetts. A memorial service was held on June 17 in the Quaker Heritage Center Meetinghouse at Wilmington College.
