Croeso!
On Saturday, March 27th at 2 pm, Bill Jones, PhD, from Cardiff University will speak at the Welsh Heritage Centre. The subject will be Finding the forgotten Margaret Evans Roberts (1833-1921), Pioneer Welsh American Writer and Womens' Rights Campaigner. The public is welcome. Come join us!
We held our St. Dwynwen's celebration on January 23. Terry Little, a singer from Plattsmouth, performed a small concert. We had approximately 35 in attendance, though weather kept many out-of-towners away.
Berwyn Jones and Martha Davies were recently honored with the NINNAU Citation for their numerous and continued contributions to Welsh American life. Berwyn and Martha are also looking forward to receiving another award from the National Welsh American Foundation this year at the North American Festival of Wales in Portland, Oregon.
