MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 2025

Hello FASCI Members!

On behalf of your officers and committees, welcome to another exciting year with our FASCI! I'm thrilled to have you with us and share this guidance for year 2025 with you. I can't wait to embark together with everyone on new adventures. Whether you're a long-time member or new to FASCI, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Let's make this year the best one yet, filled with fun, learning, and unforgettable memories!

The following are some events lined up for you as a reference:
1. Annual Easter Egg Hunt on April 19th at Valley Lakes Center in Chillicothe
2. Philippine Flag Day and Summer Picnic on June 15th at the Grieves Pavilion in East Peoria
3. Fall Picnic / FASCI election day on September 21st at the Grieves Pavilion in East Peoria

8. Christmas Party on December 13th at the Holiday Inn Grand Prairie in Peoria

Indeed, yet another packed year for FASCI! To make these events a success, we need your help! We're looking for additional volunteers to assist your friends serving as officers or in events committees with planning, setup, and promotions. Of immediate need now are in the venue searches for our planned 2026 St Valentine's Day Party after the Santo Nino Sinolong Celebration at the Holy Family Parish Church in Peoria in January 2026. Most importantly, your FASCI needs upper-level volunteers to help provide additional insights. Your participation and support are what makes our Society so special.

Looking forward to seeing you all soon!

Angelito "Lee" Capati
FASCI President
