Dear Beloved Community, 

You are invited to join Southern California Quakers for our 48th annual Fall Fellowship gathering at Temescal Gateway Park in Pacific Palisades (see temescal-gateway-park ) this November, starting Friday afternoon the 6th though Sunday afternoon the 8th. Please look for details about the gathering and the opening of registration within the next two weeks. We are looking forward to gathering with you and enjoying a weekend of fellowship, fun, spiritual deepening and worship.

Let us gather with the joyous anticipation of returning to Temescal, saved from destruction by the park staff while much of the surrounding area of Pacific Palisades and Malibu was devastated in the fire early last year. A full weekend is planned, beginning Friday afternoon through Sunday after lunch. Financial support for the registration fees will be made available, and minors are only asked to contribute $25 toward the cost of their participation.

Please spread the word among Friends, save the date, and keep an eye out for registration opening soon and reach out to us via scqmsignup@gmail.com for any questions or concerns.

Your SCQM Fall Fellowship 2026 Coordinating Committee, including:

Lawrence Alderson, Registrar; Gary Wolff, Treasurer; Louise Sherikar, Finance Committee convener; Stephen Pope, Clerk of Ministry & Counsel, Stephen Pope; Kindred Gottlieb, Teen Program Clerk; Clerk of Arrangements, Judi Oehmen; and Sarah Rose House-Lightner, Recording Clerk’s circle.
