Seattle Pilgrim Meeting

[grayland]

There is a Puget Sound Chapter of the American Pilgrims scheduled for 14 May. All interested people who can make it are invited. Not necessary to be a member of the group.

Great for Pilgrims who have finished the Camino and...fantastic for Pilgrims who are planning the great adventure.

I am waiting to hear the actual details and will post them on this thread when I do.
Someone else may have more information and post it earlier.

Great news, Grayland. Thanks for sharing this. Somehow I seem often to be on the Camino when our local chapter gets together. This time I'll be somewhere near Pamplona as you are meeting here in Seattle. Please greet the gang for me.

I am jealous. Is there an Atlanta or Southeast chapter? If so, how do I hook up?

[grayland]

I was not aware of the Seattle chapter or the meets until very recently when someone posted it on the forum.

It is not necessary to be a member of these groups to participate and everyone with an interest of any kind in the
Camino is welcome.
I wish I had found a group like this before I went on my first Camino...what a treat it would have been to talk with others who had made the journey.
A reminder to all in the Seattle area to make plans to attend if interested. Send me a Private Message if questions.

American Pilgrims on the Camino aggregates local events here: Local & Regional Events . I believe Seattle is the first local chapter of the APC, but there are some events scattered about the country. Sadly the closest to you seems to be a meeting in Charlotte. Blessings ~
