FundRaising Events for Typhoon Frank Victims on Sept 6
Good Morning to you all!
I am forwarding to you below an email from Rico Fos, our consul at The Phillippine Embassy and husband of a fellow member.
All of us are aware of the calamities and hardships that has befallen our countrymen back home. These events are two opportunities for us to give back to those most in need, while also enjoying ourselves. I will be attending the Alay Concert on September 6th. I hope to see most of you there. Let me or Rico know if you’re interested so we can seat together.
Both events are on the same day, each catering to a different interest.
