Congratulations to all those people who won the games.

Every child between one and ten years old received a Christmas present. Adults are also doing an exchange gift. Most stayed until the New Years and sung the Auld Lange Syne song together with a party popper. Others stayed after 12 am and helped us clean up the hall.

This year starts a new beginning of a wonderful and fruitful year for the Filipino Society. The true key is to support and help each other.Wait and see...there’s always something in the community that makes us proud.
