MICAH GATHERING FOR FJVS AND FRIENDS
July 22 - July 25, 2010, Whidbey Island, WA
Micah is a nonprofit organization created in 1992 by former Jesuit Volunteers and their families/friends to support each other in living out the values they experienced as Jesuit Volunteers. Since 1992, we have gathered annually for a weekend to continue reflecting on the values of spirituality, community, simple living, and social justice beyond our Jesuit Volunteer year(s) experience. Our gathering is a great way to network, relax, and have fun, and the weekend is organized in a spirit of love and celebration (ie-some structure, but lots of free time as well).We are planning our next fabulous weekend Micah Gathering which will be from Thursday evening, July 22 to Sunday morning, July 25, 2010 at Camp Casey on Whidbey Island, WA. You are invited to join in the 2010 Micah Gathering for all or part of the weekend. If you are interested in learning more about Micah and this great event from July 22-25, 2010, please contact Lisa Dennison (Seattle, 81-82) at lisa2karl@aol.com or Patty Houts-Hussey ('73-74) at micah@whidbey.com.
