"The Society is devoted to the understanding and development of the folklore of this area. Collection, study, preservation, publication, and performance are all aspects of the Society's activities. The people of the Pacific Northwest are heir to a rich heritage of legend, song, dance, and other forms of lore. This study greatly aids the understanding not only of ourselves, but of our forebears and the land from which they sprung." Cheers, S. in Seattle |

Is that better? (always tweaking, always changing, always adding, always learning) Cheers, S. in Seattle |
