SUMMARY:2020 Spring Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Update: The Spring 2020 session of Blue River Quarterly Meeting has been canceled. Our next session will be in September 2020 at the DuBois Center. \nThe 2020 Spring Gathering of Blue River Quarterly Meeting is scheduled for April 3–5 at Camp CILCA\, near Springfield\, Illinois. Registration is due by March 22. \nThe theme is “Borders Don’t Stop Dreams\,” and the program includes a viewing of the film ‘Ay Mariposa’\, which tells a story of three characters in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas whose lives are upended by plans to build a US-Mexico border wall. As the director of the National Butterfly Center\, Marianna Trevino Wright has become a leader of wall resistance in the Valley\, a position that has resulted in violent threats from pro-wall factions and an emotional odyssey as she tries to navigate the ever-shifting sands of border policy. Zulema Hernandez\, a life-long migrant worker\, immigrant and great grandmother\, has been a dedicated advocate for all migrants\, both wild and human-kind. Meanwhile the butterfly\, la mariposa\, fights its own daily battle for survival in a landscape where more than 95 percent of its habitat is long gone and much of what remains lies directly in the path of the wall.

SUMMARY:Spring 2017 Gathering
DESCRIPTION:The spring BRQ meeting will be held April 7–9\, 2017 at Camp CILCA in Cantrall\, Illinois. The theme is “Including\, Inviting\, Honoring All: Perspectives on Disabilities” and will be facilitated by Brittany Koresch. \nAdult/Teen Program:\nSpring 2017 Quarterly will engage with others to learn about differences in communication\, how to interact with others with integrity\, and see the equality in all. Those with disabilities and their families have seen a great deal of changes in the past 50 years in regards to rights\, attitudes\, and accessibility. What can be done to help the changes continue? What small and large steps must be taken to encourage inclusion of all people and build a stronger community? \nDuring the morning program\, we will:\n\nLay the foundation for communication and learn about recent changes in vocabulary used in and about those in the disability community\nLearn about the disability rights timeline in America and the current state of rights\nEngage in activities to deepen each person’s understanding of topics that impact those within the disability community and beyond\n\nThrough activities\, discussion\, and inward reflection\, we may find new ways to include more people in our lives\, inviting diverse perspectives and honoring the equality of all. \nTeen Program (HSF):\nGraduating 8th graders through 12th graders will attend adult programming\, and also have a workshop on Clearness (see schedule). Teens will bunk together in the Retreat Center. \nMiddle School Program:\n5th-7th graders (MS) will focus on the Inner Light and how it can illuminate both disabilities and gifts. MS group will bunk together in the Retreat Center. \nYounger Children’s Program:\nWee Friends through 4th grade will complement the adult theme’s emphasis on recognizing and creating spaces ripe for inclusivity. \nForms\n\n2017 Spring BRQ Program and Registration Form

There is a new kitchenette with a much larger fridge. There are new beds in most of the rooms. (The “older” beds that remain were purchased 3-4 years ago so they aren’t really old.) There is new carpet and furniture in some places and a splash of fun paint; do you like eggplant?
