Join Us May 3, 2025, for “Songs for the Times” Broadmead Friends 50th Anniversary Concert

We are pleased that Ann Arbor Friend Paul Tinkerhess will perform a concert in Toledo on Saturday, May 3, 2025, in commemoration of Broadmead Meeting’s 50th anniversary. Paul is a talented performer who sings songs of peace, justice and hope. He and his wife Claire were co-clerks of the 2018 FGC Gathering in Toledo.

The free concert starts at 7 pm at Victory Center, 3166 Republic Blvd N, Toledo 43615. A free-will offering will be accepted to go to the AFSC’s Gaza emergency response fund.

Broadmead Monthly Meeting was accepted into Lake Erie Yearly Meeting in June 1974, making 2024 our 50th year. There had been groups of Quakers off and on in Toledo and northwest Ohio since the 1940’s or earlier but 1974 was the beginning of our current configuration.

We are celebrating our 50th with two different events. The first was a special Meeting last November, when current and former members and attenders joined together for worship and sharing of memories and memorabilia. That gathering was well attended and enjoyed by all who were there. Our second event will be the concert on May 3, 2025.
