Pacific Northwest Quarterly Meeting (PNQM)

Freda the Peace Dove

Freda the Peace Dove was created by ceramic sculptor Phoebe Huffman, a member of Port Townsend Friends Meeting, with the help of many other Port Townsend Friends. The original inspiration for Freda came to Phoebe during Meeting for Worship in January 2004, and she was encouraged to pursue it by both family and Meeting. Since her completion in 2005, Freda (a German name meaning "Peace") has been seen and touched in many venues on the Olympic Peninsula. This year Phoebe and Port Townsend Friends have sent Freda's message further afield by inviting others in Pacific Northwest Quarterly Meeting to take her around Washington state and northern Idaho to be part of community celebrations and other public events.

Pictures of Freda and more information are at Freda's blog.

PNQM meets in the Fall and Spring of each year at the Lazy F Camp near Ellensburg in Central Washington. The program begins on Friday evening and ends with lunch on Sunday. Responsibility for planning rotates among the Monthly Meetings of the Quarter.
