2007 Year in Review

Volunteer Projects

While we all enjoy gathering as a community and having fun, it is also important to give back to the community in which we live and help those less fortunate.  In years past, FAC-WNC sponsored different volunteer opportunities to give back.  In 2007, our association brought these projects back. 

Loving Foods Resources, lead by Rem and Camilla Navarro, is an organization that packs boxes of food for HIV/AIDS patients in need.  Many of our members, each month, took time out on Saturday mornings to lend a helping hand. 

ABCCM – Women and Children’s Shelter, lead by Virginia Rodriguez, was a project that was done in years past that was brought back.  Taking time out to cook and prepare a lunch for women and children in the shelter, our members were greatly appreciated in sharing their time and effort by helping the less fortunate. 

Thank you to our leaders in these volunteer projects and to our members who continuously gave back to the community. 

 Summary

This year has had many successes, none of which wouldn’t have been possible without our members, but more importantly, to those members who made volunteered, planned, chaired, and worked behind the scenes in all of our events this year.  Thank you to the committee heads of each event, committee members, volunteers, dancers, planners, and Officers for making 2007 such a wonderful success.

These efforts have helped to strengthen our community even more by uniting all of us in order to preserve and keep intact our rich cultural heritage. 

As 2007 draws to a close, let us reflect on all our endeavors and lives this past year as we look forward to a bright future and all that it holds in store for us next year in 2008.
