The Mission
The Saline-Brecon Friendship Guild Ltd. was established in April
of 1989, with two primary goals. First, to promote our sister city relationship
to as large a base in the greater Saline community as possible. Second, to
provide a focus for the necessary fund-raising activities which will provide the
financial resources necessary for continuing and expanding our 25-year
association and friendship with Brecon, Wales. By the end of 1989 the Guild had
established itself formally with the adoption of a constitution and by-laws,
election of officers and an official logo. In May of 1990, official tax-exempt
status was granted by the federal and state governments. Meanwhile, the Guild
had provided ambitious and successful fund-raising programs for the 25th and 30th
anniversary celebrations in Saline with our guests from Brecon. These have
included the highly successful "pub nights", sales of insignia items,
and raffles. Additionally, the "Y Ddraig Goch" Society was formed for
those friends of Brecon who wish to contribute in a more direct way. Most
importantly, our mailing list now includes nearly 500 interested Salinians, a
number which continues to grow almost daily. It is through the
"Saline-Brecon Friendship Guild" that perpetuation of the wonderful
bonds of friendship and affection will be assured.

Brecon Night
(formerly Pub Night)
Each year, the Saline-Brecon Friendship Guild presented "Pub Night" - an evening of music, food, fun and fundraising to support the Guild's activities. Pub Night was the Friday nearest March 1st, which is St. David's Day. St. David is the patron Saint of Wales. In 2013 the event’s names changed “Pub Night” to “Brecon Night”. The last “Brecon Night” was held in 2018.Click below for scenes and information from past Pub Nights:
