In addition to her work on poetry, she chaired the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting committee that collected and edited The Children’s Story Caravan; she also collected and edited The Friendly Story Caravan and What Do You Think? She worked with the Friends Free Library in Germantown, the board of Pendle Hill, and Pendle Hill Publications.
