Five easy steps you can take to get ready for the 2010 FGC Gathering (Sunday, July 4 to Saturday, July 10) at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio:

Read the Gathering Expectations

The Gathering seeks to be a community of Friends living in the discipline of the Spirit. It is a rare opportunity for personal spiritual growth and sharing. We will endeavor to balance the opportunity for individual seeking with the challenges of living together. Attenders of all ages are asked to observe conduct appropriate to Friends’ principles, to take care that all of their personal behavior is bound by a respect for the sensitivities of others at the Gathering and in the host community, and to remember that our individual actions reflect on the Religious Society of Friends.

NOTE: A new rule requires attenders of all ages to wear helmets when using wheeled vehicles. Learn more >
