Third Haven Friends Meeting Trustees
2025 Annual Report
Priscilla Sener, President, Trustees of Third Haven Monthly Meeting
In 1949, the members of Third Haven Monthly Meeting created a new standalone Maryland corporation called The Trustees of Third Haven Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends, Incorporated. The monthly meeting then deeded its real property assets this new nonprofit entity. Perpetual local ownership, preservation, and stewardship of the historically significant buildings and grounds drove the decision.
Funding for the trustees has come from donations, bequests, and from the growth of investments which could be characterized as an endowment. The trustees insure the buildings and grounds and support capital projects, large and small.
In recent years, trustees have spent $307,000 for expert rehabilitation work on the 1684 Meetinghouse, with an estimated $20,000 still needed. Trustees contributed $170,000 to the Meeting’s Building Fund for Brick Meeting House accessibility improvements, insulation, roofing and tree succession planning.
Gifts sustain our long-term preservation work. We urge members and attenders to support the Trustees of Third Haven Monthly Meeting through an outright gift or through estate planning for a legacy gift. Information on how to make a gift is located on the inside cover of the directory and on the fourth item of the website’s “DONATE” page.
Trustees can help with questions about donor advised funds or matching grants.
Current trustees are Larny Claggett, Marsie Hawkinson, Bill Lane, Marie Leonard, Allan Mielke, Dee Rein, and Priscilla Sener
