What are "Quakers"? Quakers are members of the Religious Society of Friends, a faith that emerged as a new Christian denomination in England during a period of religious turmoil in the mid-1600's, and is practiced today, in a variety of forms, around the world. To members of this religion, the words "Quaker" and "Friend" mean the same thing.
Quakers are: an active, involved faith-based community living in the modern world. We are a diverse people consisting of several distinct branches. We continue our traditional testimonies of pacifism, social equality, integrity, and simplicity, which we interpret and express in a variety of ways. Today, many Friends include stewardship of our planet as one of our testimonies.
Quakers are not: Amish, Pennsylvania Dutch, Anabaptists, Shakers or Puritans--we come from a separate tradition than these other groups. We don't dress like the man on the box of oats anymore, and today we hardly ever call people "thee."
The Quaker Information Center works on behalf of eight member organizations and seven associate members to answer questions from Friends and non-Friends alike, directing inquirers to information and resources from and about the Society of Friends. We are located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and all of our members are U.S. Quaker organizations, but to the best of our ability, we provide information about Quakers worldwide.
Some tidbits of infor for those who may not know...

I'm not, but I once took a test on what type of religion I'd be best designed for (on beliefnet) and I showed up as Quaker... and I didn't think they actually existed anymore, except on the cereal box.
I'll be watching the answers to your question.
