The annual session of NPYM will once again be held at the University of Montana. The dates are July 14 -18, 2010. This year the theme of our sessions will be: "Practicing Hope: Living and witnessing our testimonies". I do hope many Friends can join us for all or part of the Annual session this year. We hope to have registration materials available by April 1.
