These will include\r\n      individual\/meeting spiritual development discussion groups and a meeting\r\n      for healing.<\/p>\r\n    <p><br>\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p><b>Schedule Shifting<\/b>: (See schedule, it might be easier to understand\r\n      by looking at it) In the afternoon, the block of time for \u201cFree\r\n      time\/socializing\/committee meetings\u201d and for \u201cWorkshop\/Worship sharing\r\n      have been swapped.\u00a0 The free time will now be right after lunch and\r\n      run 1:00-3:15 p.m. Workshops will follow at 3:15-4:30 p.m. and then\r\n      Worship Sharing and Discussion Groups at 4:45-5:30 p.m.<\/p>\r\n    <p> <\/p>\r\n    <p> Note that this impacts the Wednesday and Saturday afternoon schedule. On\r\n      Wednesday, while the registration\/check-in desk will be open at 1:00 p.m.,\r\n      there will be free time for committee meetings\/socializing\/getting your\r\n      tent\/cabin\/room organized until opening session that will run 4:00-5:30\r\n      p.m. The Saturday session for planning next year\u2019s sessions will be right\r\n      after lunch at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\r\n    <p>In the morning, breakfast will start and end later. It will run 7:00-8:00\r\n      a.m., even on Sunday. There will be a 30 minute time after breakfast ends\r\n      instead of 15 minutes, so that those doing meal cleanup will be able to\r\n      finish their tasks and make it to Meeting for Worship. Meeting for Worship\r\n      will start later and the business meeting will be shorter. Meeting for\r\n      Worship will be 8:30-~9:30, with Business Meeting being ~9:30-noon.\u00a0\r\n      Since business meeting is a meeting for worship with a concern for\r\n      business, the worship and business parts will flow into each other and\r\n      there will not be a break between them.<\/p>\r\n    <p>On Sunday morning, by making the breakfast time the same as on other\r\n      days, the schedule ends up making everything 15 minutes early.<\/p>\r\n    <p><br>\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p><b>Dining Area Closing and Cleaning: <\/b>To help ensure that people\r\n      helping out cleaning up the dining area are able to get their tasks\r\n      finished and be able to attend the programs scheduled after the meals as\r\n      well as to be able to fully do the proper cleaning, food will be promptly\r\n      removed from the serving tables at the posted ending time for the meal.\r\n      The dining areas will be closed for cleaning ten minutes after the posted\r\n      ending time for the meal and remain closed until 30 minutes after the\r\n      posted ending time for the meal. Passing through the basement dining room\r\n      to get beverages will be permitted during this closed time. So the dining\r\n      areas will be closed 8:10-8:30 a.m. 1:10-1:30 p.m. and 7:10-7:30 p.m.<\/p>\r\n    <p><br>\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p><b>Reduction in available electrical camping spaces<\/b>: Due to the\r\n      construction of the new bunkhouse, for this year there will be a reduced\r\n      number of camping spaces with electricity, as well as spaces for travel\r\n      trailers not using electricity. We should have enough, though it might be\r\n      tight. If you have a need for a camping space with electricity, please\r\n      request the space with your registration and state the reason for the\r\n      need. There might be a need to prioritize who gets the spaces with\r\n      electricity (according to the prioritizing guidelines set for use of Clear\r\n      Creek House lodging).\u00a0 Next year, after the old bunkhouse is torn\r\n      down, we will be back up to the previous number of spaces and may be even\r\n      have more.<\/p> \t\t\t\t\t\t

Participants will hold these gifts of inspiration in\r\n      their hearts and minds while sharing out of the silence. <i>Saturday<\/i><\/p>\r\n    <p> <\/p>\r\n    <p style=\"text-align: center\">****<\/p>\r\n    <p style=\"text-align: center\"><small>h: hybrid; x: in-person only<br>\r\n        <i>Repeating<\/i>: all offerings will be the same<br>\r\n        <i>Independent<\/i>: offerings are different, the first offering is not\r\n        needed to attend the next offering<br>\r\n        <i>Continuous<\/i>: offering after the first is a continuation of the\r\n        first<\/small><\/p>\r\n    <table style=\"width: 562px;height: 212px;text-align: left;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\" border=\"1\">\r\n      <tbody>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">Thu<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">Fri<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">Sat<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td style=\"width: 424.717px\">Faith in Action with AFSC (repeating)<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center;width: 39.483px\">h<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center;width: 34.4667px\">x<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center;width: 35.45px\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Alaskan Native \u201cBoarding School Experience<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Practicing the Testimonies (independent)<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Embrace a Child, Quaker Orphan Ed in Uganda<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">h<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Decline and Renewal of Quakerism (independent)<\/td>\r\n          <td><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Alaskan Quakers Seeking Right Relationships (continuous)<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Monthly Meeting Treasurers and Finance Committees<\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\"><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">h<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Quaker Connect<\/td>\r\n          <td><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n        <tr>\r\n          <td>Spirit for Earth in Poetry<\/td>\r\n          <td><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td><br>\r\n          <\/td>\r\n          <td style=\"text-align: center\">x<\/td>\r\n        <\/tr>\r\n      <\/tbody>\r\n    <\/table>\r\n    <p><br>\r\n    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel End -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel Start -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel wpsm_panel-default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <h4 class=\"wpsm_panel-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a  class=\"collapsed\"  data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#wpsm_accordion_3431 \" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-target=\"#ac_3431_collapse5\" onclick=\"do_resize()\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_open_cl_icon fa fa-plus\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_title_class\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"margin-right:6px;\" class=\"fa fa-angle-double-down\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWorship Sharing, Discussion Group, Worship\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ac_3431_collapse5\" class=\"wpsm_panel-collapse collapse \"  >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"wpsm_panel-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t    <p>4:45-5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday is a time set aside for\r\n    worship sharing groups and other types of worship\/spiritual development\r\n    groups.

On the north side of the road is a\r\n      campground which includes a parking area, a showerhouse, space for tents,\r\n      6 small cabins, and buildings used for High School and Middle School\r\n      Friends.<\/p>\r\n    <p>Annual Sessions is primarily planned and managed by volunteers, so we ask\r\n      everyone to pitch in. All Friends over age 10 are asked to sign up for at\r\n      least two volunteer jobs during Annual Sessions, which might include\r\n      helping during a meal, cleaning a bathroom, or helping with childcare or\r\n      the children\u2019s programs. Volunteer sign-up sheets are located near the\r\n      registration\/check-in table.<\/p>\r\n    <p>Please do not bring pets.

A daily fee has been\r\n      calculated related to the cost of holding sessions and an estimated number\r\n      of adults attending sessions, additionally a daily fee has been calculated\r\n      for those only attending sessions virtually. Attenders, whether on-site or\r\n      virtual are asked to reflect on the cost ILYM incurs for their attendance\r\n      at sessions and pay as led in relation to this cost and their ability to\r\n      afford this cost.<\/p>\r\n    <p><strong>REDUCE DIRTY DISHES:<\/strong> Bring your own coffee cup or drink\r\n      bottle.<strong><br>\r\n      <\/strong><\/p>\r\n    <p><b>WHAT TO BRING<\/b>: Musical instruments, recreational equipment,\r\n      clothes for active wear, sun-screen, mosquito repellent, flashlight, rain\r\n      gear, and linens (if staying in cabins or Clear Creek House).

We suggest that you\r\n      bring drinks and non-perishable snacks for times your children may be\r\n      hungry or thirsty and perhaps breakfast food if your children find it hard\r\n      to get up in time for breakfast in the dining room.<strong><br>\r\n      <\/strong><\/p>\r\n    <hr style=\"width: 100%;height: 0px;color: #070807;margin-left: auto;margin-right: 0px;margin-top: 8px\">\r\n    <p><br>\r\n    <\/p>\r\n    <p><h4><strong>Additional Questions about Sessions?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n      Are the things about Annual Sessions you do not know or want more\r\n      information\/details?

A per day adult fee of $55 reflects a representative amount if received by each adult attender that would be needed to cover the cost of Annual Sessions. There is an alternative representative fee of $15 per day adult fee for virtual-only attendees. ILYM does not assess a fee for children and high school attenders. Considered costs include expenses for meals, on-site housing, programs, and infrastructure for on-site and virtual components.<\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/pci.jotform.com\/form\/240716849727165\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to on-line registration<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ilym.org\/ilym\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/2026-Registration-Form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to download PDF registration form<br \/><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ilym.org\/ilym\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Medical-Release-and-Children-Sessions-form.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to download additional Medical Release and Children's Sessions forms<\/a><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ilym.org\/ilym\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Adult-Young-Friend-Travel-Support-Request.docx\">Information and form for Adult Young Friends to request travel support<\/a>.<\/div>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel End -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Inner panel Start -->\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel wpsm_panel-default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wpsm_panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <h4 class=\"wpsm_panel-title\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a  class=\"collapsed\"  data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#wpsm_accordion_3431 \" href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-target=\"#ac_3431_collapse13\" onclick=\"do_resize()\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_open_cl_icon fa fa-plus\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"ac_title_class\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"margin-right:6px;\" class=\"fa fa-angle-double-down\"><\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFront Table Folders (Additional Documents)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <\/h4>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ac_3431_collapse13\" class=\"wpsm_panel-collapse collapse \"  >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t  <div class=\"wpsm_panel-body\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>During on-campus Annual Sessions there is a series of folders on the entry table.
