Willamette Quarterly Meeting 2024
Willamette Quarterly Meeting will be held in person at Mt Hood Kiwanis Camp near Rhododendron Oregon on May 17 to May 19, 2024. It's a beautiful forested site an hour and fifteen minutes east of Portland Oregon. Come to see old friends, meet new friends, worship together and enjoy the outdoors!
- Attendance is by reservation only.
- Cost: is "Pay as Led" and is paid when you get to the Camp. This means you pay the amount you feel able to pay. Please don't let the cost of attendance prevent you from joining us. In order for this model to work, WQM needs individuals and meetings to give generously to WQM.
- Meals: Bring something to eat for Friday dinner. All meals are provided on Saturday and Sunday.
- Registration: Opens March 24 and closes April 24.
