"Being a member of PÁS is more than being in a cultural and ethnic dance group," explains Adult Ensemble member, Marge Rose, "PÁS is a family.
 "We enjoy working together, learning about our culture, performing, but also helping one another when there is a need.  I've been with PÁS for almost 25 years and have enjoyed the activities and especially the friendships."
