Lepse. Tom Gething and director of the Seattle Welsh Choir,
will lead us in a few familiar Welsh songs.

future events.
Everyone
is welcome to help us celebrate over a
century
of Welsh culture in the Puget Sound region!
“Be joyful, and keep your faith and your creed. Do the little
things that you have seen me do and heard about.
I will walk the path that
our fathers have trod before us.” Last recorded words of Saint David 589 AD
‘Do the little things’ ('Gwnewch y pethau
bychain') Is still a well-known phrase in Wales.
