Kinship
region 1
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont
The Northeastern
United States comprise Region One. The Region extends from New England
down to New Jersey and from the Atlantic Ocean inward through the state
of Pennsylvania. Thus the Region includes the states of Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey,
and Pennsylvania.
The region currently has about 75 active members, the largest concentration
of which is in the New York City metropolitan area. Group activities
are
planned for every couple of months and include field trips and dinners
together. For the past two years Thanksgiving has been shared together
by the membership. And on occasion members attend church together in
western
Massachusetts. The locations for other events have centered in Hartford,
CT,
Springfield, MA, New York City, and Providence, RI. Members communicate
activities and interests via a regional newsletter.
Region One revels in its diversity. Members are of all ages, ethnic
backgrounds, spiritual interests, and economic conditions. There are
construction workers,
social workers, lawyers, medical professionals, educators, and professional
students. Some members have children.
