As you drive by Bristol Meeting on Market Street in historic Bristol Borough, you can’t help but notice the huge sycamore tree adjacent to the meetinghouse. Fondly known as the Penn sycamore, the tree has been there almost as long as the meetinghouse, and on April 6th, Bristol Friends decided it was time to give it a birthday party!

Bristol Meeting’s new clerk, Alisa Myles, arrived with lots of ideas and enthusiasm. Passionate about refugee resettlement, her first outreach project involves teaching Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM) how to cook.
