Mabuhay!In Hawaii they say “Aloha.” In the Philippines we say “Mabuhay.” It is a warm welcome from a truly sincere and hospitable people. Filipinos are a sociable group with strong family ties. Join us and share the excitement and togetherness that is the Filipino Association of Greater Kansas City.

Ethnic Festival a Big Success

I want to thank all the people who helped to make the Ethnic Festival a successful event. We had good weather, good volunteers, and good results! I salute you for your hard work, dedication, and the many hours you put in to make it happen! As the team lead of the Ethnic Festival, I learned many lessons in running the show and found improvements that can be made for next year.

Our booth was very efficient this year because we had 2 windows each for ordering and pick-up. At the next general meeting we will find out what our net revenue is. A Volunteer Appreciation Party is being planned – more details to come.

Fiesta Filipina Recap
Many thanks to the volunteers, performers, and everyone who supported the event this year. Despite heavy rains that moved the festivities inside on the second day, there was an excellent turnout throughout the weekend. Special kudos to all the volunteers who continue to make the Fiesta Filipina what it is - from overall coordination, to food preparation and sales, to first-aid, to entertainment, to ticket sales - it is truly a community effort.

A Message from Your Membership Chair

Membership CardFor the 40th anniversary of the Association, the Membership Committee is taking on the challenge to increase and reinvigorate our membership.  Throughout this year, I will be asking each one of you to help recruit, retain, and innovate. Your participation is the foundation on which our organization is built.

The first innovation I would like to introduce is your 2008 Membership Card.  Present this card to receive members’ only discounts at the following locations: Joy Luck Chinese Restaurant (97th and Quivira), Tannahs (119th and Blackbob), and Chinatown Super Buffet (75th and Wornall).  This list will be updated periodically.

Once again, thank you for your membership. – Judy Sorio-Jeffers
