This event is offered at no cost to Friends.
Coffee, tea, and lunch will be provided at the event. More information on the menu will be sent out about 10 days prior to the event. Participants are welcome to bring their own lunch if they prefer.
There will be an informal time for gathering on Friday night before we enter our Visioning Day together on Saturday. Recognizing some Friends will have traveled quite a distance and would like to stay in the area, we researched a few options. The closest hotel to the church is the Hampton Inn Haverhill at 106 Bank Rd, Haverhill, MA 01832. If staying at the hotel would support your participation in Visioning Day, but cost is barrier, please contact Elizabeth Hacala, Operations Director, at [email protected].
If this hotel does not work for you for any reason there is is also a Holiday Inn Express in Lawrence, MA , as well as both another Holiday Inn Express and Red Roof Inn in Salem NH. Those hotels are about a 20 minute drive from the church.. If you would like more details, please email Elizabeth Hacala, Operations Director, at [email protected]. Friends are not required to stay at any of these properties and should feel free to make their own accommodations if they prefer.
Stay home if you are experiencing COVID, flu, or stomach bug symptoms. Masks are optional and the choice to mask will always be respected.
