Please bring this topic to your Monthly Meeting's attention!

QUARTER NEWS
On twelfth month,eighth day, 2012, Friends met at a called session of the Quarter, and after discernment reached acceptance of the following two minutes:
1. Abington Quarter has a concern about the environmental consequences of our investments. We request the Abington Quarter Trustees and Monthly Meetings consider the environment when determining and establishing their investment practices and urge individual Friends to do likewise.
2. Abington Quarter recognizes the difficult nature of social screening of the assets held at Friends Fiduciary Corporation. We request that Friends Fiduciary Corporation consider ecological responsibility when completing their social screening
