QUAKER MOTTO CALENDAR

 Good news!

There will be a 2021 Quaker Motto Calendar.

For this year, we're asking if you'll send your email address to

scattergoodmotto@gmail.com

to receive an order form and an address to send your checks.

You can also leave a comment with your email address on this blogpost and I'll send the mailing address for payment and orders. 

Because of the scramble to get the calendars ready ASAP, the checks will go to Katharine Scattergood Marino this year. As soon as she receives your payment and order, the printer will get them to you.

Here is some information you may want to know:

 

Hearing how much everyone loves these little gems really made us try very hard to keep them going.

For those of you not familiar with the calendars, here's a page from yesteryear!

So very glad that, at least for now, the Scattergood calendar, known in our family as the "goodie goodie" calendar, will continue! Always hanging in a "reader's corner", usually the bathroom, the calendar was enjoyed by so many. Having raised two boys who enjoyed it, as did their friends and many of our extended family, we are all delighted to know we have this respite read to look forward to. After this last year, the need could not be greater. I am happy to provide my email address and look forward to receiving order information and where to send my check. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

The Tweedy ranching family in San Angelo and Knickerbocker, Texas, has given and used the "Quaker calendar", as we call it, for over fifty years. My mother, and then my cousin, coordinated the ordering and sending it out every Christmas. One never appreciates water 'til the well runs dry—we now appreciate this little tome all the more. Thanks to you all for continuing it!

I have used this Motto Calendar as a basis for my morning meditations and find it invaluable. I also use it as a prompt for a contemplative prayer group I sometimes lead and send them as gifts to people I know are in need of spiritual nurture. I feel lost without it so I send gratitude and blessings to you!
In the Light,
Marybeth Toomey

I have worked for my employer for 34 years and every year she has gotten a Motto Calendar. She was very upset to hear there would not be a 2021 Motto Calendar. In reading the comments above, there seems that the calendar is still in production. Can you please let me know how I may purchase them. I am providing my email address so I may receive and order form. Thank you so much for continuing the calendar.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello! Is it too late to order for 2024? My mom has loved these calendars for so long and I would love to surprise her with one. And I’d love to get some myself and to send to friends…I figure there are still plenty of months left in 2024. Thank you for this inspiring calendar.
