Pacific Yearly Meeting’s 2018 Representative Committee meeting (“RepCom”) took place March 2-4, 2018, at Orange Grove Friends Meeting, Pasadena, CA, USA. It was co-hosted by Orange Grove and Santa Monica Monthly Meetings.
This page contains reports and minutes from the 2018 meeting. For general information about Representative Committee and links to records from other years’ meetings, see the RepCom pages.
For a summary of highlights from RepCom 2018, here is a sample report that one Representative gave at his Meeting’s business meeting the week after. If you are a Representative yourself, you might draw on this example in preparing your own report to your Monthly Meeting or Worship Group.
The complete Minutes of the meeting are linked under Minutes Packet below. The packet was updated to the final version on 5/23/2018.
Table of Contents
Clerk’s Call and Advance Materials
Most committee reports and other materials in preparation for RepCom were collected into a single PDF file, RepCom 2018 Packet of Advance Materials (a few stragglers did not make it in). All of these reports (including the stragglers, but not the Clerk’s Call) are now included as attachments in the Minutes Packet below, so you’re better off seeking them there. Or, if you really just want an individual report, you will find it below under Committee and Officer Reports.
The following are the advance materials that are not in the Minutes Packet:
- Clerk’s Call to 2018 Representative Committee Meeting
- RepCom 2018 Schedule and Agenda
- Rep Rap for Annual Session 2017 (Rap lyrics by Trudy Freidel, who took a light-hearted look at Annual Session 2017 as a Representative might “report” it (in rap) to their monthly meeting.)
- Additional Information about FGC Affiliation and a Request for Monthly Meetings to Season (matter to be brought for consideration at Annual Session 2018)
- Restaurants near Orange Grove Meeting
Minutes Packet
The Minutes Packet includes all of the advance committee and officer reports as well as minutes from the oral presentations at the meeting.

Committee and Officer Reports
