The Los Angeles Welsh Church News Online has a new name. I have been
receiving so much mail on other Welsh events, that I have decided to change
the name of this online newsletter to "Welsh News." I will still mention the
Welsh Church of Los Angeles. If you have any news of an upcoming event (must
have something to do with Wales or a Welsh-American event), please let me
know. If it is for the Welsh church, E-Mail it to them at their new E-Mail
address:

Be sure and bookmark the Welsh Church website which is:
www.geocities.com/lawelshchurch

First of all, I would like to wish all the readers of the Welsh News, a Happy
St. David's Day. Please wear your leek in honor of the patron Saint of Wales
- St. David or as the Welsh call him "Dewi Sant."

We also celebrate St. Patrick's Day. As you should know, St. Patrick was
born in Wales. Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of us who may share a little
bit (or a lot) of Irish blood.
