Our Program

Welsh League's own Jude Johnson will discuss the vital role Welsh immigrants played in Arizona's Statehood, from mining to the Apache Wars to Mormon settlers. Her latest book is a nonfiction publication called Cactus Cymry: Influential Welsh in the Southern Arizona Territory, which wrth gwrs, she'll have on hand. She'll also lead an Arizona Centennial Quiz, with a prize or two available. And if you know of any Welsh immigrants in the Valley of the Sun--famous or infamous--bring the info for Jude to research; maybe there could be a Volume Two, or Cactus Cymry: Phoenix edition.

 As usual we can share refreshments!
