Pondtown Monthly Meeting of Friends, based in Winthrop, Maine, began as a worship
group under the care of the Winthrop, Maine Monthly Meeting in 1982. After a year,
it was set off from Winthrop Monthly Meeting to become a monthly meeting as part of
the Vassalboro Quarterly Meeting. Eight years later, in 1991, the Farmington Monthly
Meeting was set off from Pondtown.
The collection consists of six
folders, containing minutes from 1991-1993, State-of-the-Society reports for 1991
and 1992, some correspondence and a query.
