Pioneer Avenue, Puyallup, WA 98371 S Spring 2018 Editor: Alene Reaugh The fall meeting was well attended by a more than 20 people including several newly discovered Cornish joining us for the first time. Our Spring Meeting to celebrate St. Piran’s day will be: March 3, 2018. We will put together a nominating committee and discuss the election to be held at our Annual Meeting in July. We will also ask for volunteers to at- tend and represent the Cornish at the Celtic Highland Games held throughout the summer. The games will be in Belfair, Enumclaw, Portland, Salem, Eugene, McMinnville (replacing the Newport Games). Many of us have done this and found it a lot of fun. People stop at the booth with the question, Am I Cornish? And it goes from there. We have met many Cornish and other people who LOVE Cornwall. I have met many people since joining this group. July 2018, we will be celebrating our 20th year as The Pacific Northwest Cornish Socie- ty, a group formed to promote our heritage, history, culture, and genealogy to discover just what it means to be Cornish and who our ancestors were. We are planning a big Anniversary Celebration and hope that we can interest past members and welcome all the newly discovered Cornish. So please put the date JULY 21, 2018 on your cal- endar and join us at Fort Borst Park for a fun party to include balloons and cake, Celtic entertainment, memories, photos of founding members and past events PLUS a lot of good food.
