Gatherings (Services):  
​

We meet at the Olean Mediation Center, 2275 Dugan Road, Olean, NY.   
Please note there is an area to remove your shoes when you first enter the building.
On the first and third Sunday from September through June, we gather at 11:00 AM (service) and have a potluck lunch afterwards.  We start on the third Sunday of September to avoid Labor Day weekend.  During the summer, we have picnics, usually on the third Sunday in July and August.

October 18 - Origami - program presented by Robert Taylor, Olean artist BIO:  Robert Taylor works in a variety of media , materials , that explore both two and three dimensions. In addition to Origami, his artistic background includes painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture that includes Bonsai, ceramics, and poetry.  Origami tends toward 3D but offers the opportunity for both through the geometry of crease patterns.  My interest in both of these aspects extends back to my childhood.
