We are mostly American citizens with various links to Wales.

Because of this connection to the 'old country' we meet to pay homage to our roots by way of 'fellowship' which takes on several forms. This includes song and sharing our Welsh heritage with the Idaho community whenever the opportunity arises etcetera.
