Sweet Home Monteverde
(film – 57 minutes)
Tuesday, February 23
7:00 p.m. on Channel 970
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO FOR YOUR BELIEFS? In 1950, months after the U.S.
entered the Korean War, four Quaker war-resisters from Fairhope, Alabama led some 40
people to emigrate to Costa Rica, a country that had just abolished its army. They settled in a
remote cloud forest amid abundant birds and wildlife but with no roads or infrastructure to
speak of. They named their community Monteverde (which means “green mountain”).
This film chronicles the Quaker’s history of fighting for peace and
social and climate justice, and documents how that legacy has been
passed to succeeding generations, making the story of the
Monteverde Quakers as inspiring and relevant today as ever.

VOTING BY MAIL IN 2021:
DID YOU CHECK THE “ANNUAL” BOX?
1. If you DID check the “Annual Mail-in Request” box on last year’s (2020) application:
The Bucks County Board of Elections will send you an application every year in February. In
order to receive your ballots automatically for all elections in 2021, you must submit a new
application. You can use the paper one they send you, or you can submit an application online
(see #2 below).
Please note: Although the deadline for submitting your application to vote in the
2021 municipal primary is Tuesday, May 11 at 5:00 p.m., given both the slow
speed of postal deliveries and the processing backlog at the Board of Elections,
submitting your application as early as possible will help you receive your ballot on
time.
2. If you did NOT check the “Annual Mail-in Request” box on last year’s (2020) application,
or if you did not vote by mail in 2020: You will NOT receive an application automatically. Do
one of the following:
--Apply online: Go to votespa.com and click “Option 1: Apply for a mail-in or absentee
ballot online.” At the bottom of the page, click “I’m not a robot,” then “Begin your
application” and follow the prompts. OR:
--Use a paper application: Print one from votespa.com or get one from the League of Women
Voters bulletin board, or ask the Board of Elections to send you one (see number below).
3. If you are NOT SURE whether you checked the “Annual Mail-in Request” box last year:
Call the Bucks County Board of Elections (215-348-6154 or 215-348-6163) and ask whether
you are on the “Annual” list. If not, see #2 above.
4. Filling out the application (box 3): Our “municipality” is Middletown. Our “Voting
District” is Upper 5. We don’t have a “ward,” so leave that line blank.
5. Mailing address: If you cannot submit the application online, mail it to:
Bucks County Board of Elections, 55 E. Court Street, Doylestown, PA 18901

STAMPS FOR FRIENDS
For many years, Right Sharing of World Resources (RSWR) has
collected cancelled stamps to benefit the world’s poorest people.
Cancelled stamps are sold in bulk for young collectors to benefit
Quaker missions such as RSWR, Friends World Committee for
Consultation, Ramallah Play Center, Lugulu Hospital in Kenya, and the
Quaker United Nations Office, among others. Since 2009, RSWR has
raised over $11,000 from recycled stamps.
There is one of Ken Burton’s beautiful wooden boxes on the table in Penn Lounge (by the phone).
Please deposit cancelled stamps in the slot on the front of this box. (All postage stamps with edges intact
are wanted except NO Christmas stamps OR Flag stamps—PLEASE CUT STAMPS FROM
ENVELOPES.) The Quakerism Committee ships the stamps to Indianapolis where the stamps are sorted
and sold.
For questions or additional information OR if you have a quantity of stamps or old stamp collections
to donate, contact Will.

Welcome Carole,
New Resident
Carole is newly arrived at Pennswood, but is no stranger to the
Newtown area.
She grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska and obtained her
undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska with a
B.A. in Music Education. She first worked in elementary
schools in Denver, Colorado but quickly decided she wanted to see the East Coast. She never
left!
On moving to New Jersey, Carole first worked at ETS (Educational Testing Services) then at
IBM. Remember the IBM Selectric Magnetic Tape Typewriters in the 1970s? Carole was a
marketing service representative and taught this new technology to hundreds of people.
Before the era of personal computers, this technology made huge strides in reducing
repetitive typing chores.
Carole met her husband John while working at IBM, where he was a systems engineer in data
processing. After marriage, they made their home in Lambertville, New Jersey for fifteen
years, then in Newtown. They had three sons, all of whom are engineers, living in Florida,
Texas, and Pittsburgh. Sadly, John died about two years ago; they had already decided on
Pennswood for their new home, and she knew Pennswood was where she wanted to live.
Carole has been a long-time Presbyterian church member; she has been an Elder and Sunday
School teacher in the church and active in music and handbell choirs. She is fortunate that
she can continue to attend her same church after her move.
Music has long been part of Carole’s life, as an amateur vocalist in musicals and opera and
directing musicals for children. She is looking forward to Pennswood’s offerings once live
concerts re-commence.
Carole and her family frequently travelled during summer holidays, but perhaps her greatest
travel adventure happened after college graduation. She and two friends bought Eurail passes
and spent the summer in England, Scandinavia, France, Germany and Italy. Those were days
of “Europe on $5 a day,” and the new graduates could travel on a tiny budget.
Carole is an active walker and has been exploring the trails around Pennswood despite the
winter weather. Further activities at Pennswood to be determined!
We enjoyed meeting Carole, and hope you will stop to say, “Welcome.”

Film Committee Movie Descriptions
While You Were Sleeping (1995):
Starring– Sandra Bullock, Bill Pullman & Peter Gallagher
Sandra Bullock plays a transit worker who pulls a commuter off the tracks after

and she doesn't correct them ... and then she falls for his brother.
Breakthrough (2019):
Starring- Marcel Ruiz, Topher Grace & Sarah Constible
In this fact-based drama, 14-year-old John Smith falls through a frozen lake and is

Big Night (1996):
Starring– Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci & Marc Anthony
Despite its superb cuisine, an Italian restaurant run by immigrant brothers verges
