Filipino American History Month
Filipino American History Month was celebrated in many parts of the United States – and in a variety of ways. Thanks to all trustees, chapters and other members who brought this important date to the attention of organizations, institutions and the general public in their geographic area.
This and That.
Vangie Buell has been recovering nicely … Pete Jamero turned 80 … For three months Fred Cordova has been researching (in the NPA) and writing the draft of his newest book – a chronology of Filipino American History … Fascinating read is Dr. Patricia Brown’s new book: Kula San – Hawaii’s Healing Place … January the Bay Area FANHS Consortium had their holiday party as a fundraiser for FANHS National with Mel Orpilla and Larry Ascero hosting. The event was held in the beautiful 106-year-old mansion in Mare Island Vallejo owned by Larry and Lilibeth Ascero. In the early 1920s Larry’s grandparents were servants in this mansion.

MANY THANKS to all who supported FANHS!!
What a memorable time we had in Seattle! More than 500 joined us at FANHS this year.
Many, many thanks to all who sponsored, presented, performed, volunteered, organized, donated to and attended the 13th biennial national conference of FANHS this July 21-24, 2010 at Seattle University! We appreciate everyone who has been part of FANHS in some way -- including many of you who've supported FANHS from a distance.
People have stopped to write and tell me how much they enjoyed and learned from this conference. The "morning after" FANHS, professor/author Leny Strobel wrote about "The Good Work of FANHS" on her blog: http://kathang-pinay2.blogspot.com/2010/07/good-work-of-fanhs.html
Aldrich Sabach of PEP http://pepsf.org/ shares his FANHS 2010 collection with all of us:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/aldrichphotography/sets/72157624465131325/ And watch out for the DVDs -- of the conference and of "Dance Down Memory Lane" -- available from FANHS Hampton Roads (Virginia) Chapter. Contact Edwina Bergano ebergano@cox.net for more information on the DVDs.
We'll add to these links as we move forward and continue to promote Filipino American history.
I'm ever hopeful,
~(Auntie) Joanie / Joan May / AJM / NJM

**At the July 23rd FANHS fundraiser, "Dance Down Memory Lane" (see poster in earlier post), Primo Kim Villaruz will selling his latest CD "Make it Right!" with proceeds going to FANHS.
**Linda Nietes, of Philippine Expressions Bookstore in Los Angeles, will be a "Silver Sponsor" for this year's FANHS National Conference. Philippine Expressions carries many of the books written by writers who'll be part of the FANHS Authors' Reception on July 22.

California Lt. Gov. Mona Pasquil to be FANHS national conference speaker
"Lt. Gov. Mona Pasquil FANHS conference speaker"
by Dr. Fred Cordova
Seattle (FANHS National) – Simeona (Mona) Viernes Pasquil – the first woman, more importantly the first Filipino American, to be appointed acting Lieutenant Governor of the State of California – has verbally agreed “unanimously” to be the principal speaker at the Filipino American National Historical Society’s 13th National Conference July 24 in Seattle. Lt. Gov. Pasquil will speak at the conference’s Saturday evening dinner. The three day conference is being held at Seattle University.
A third-generation Pinay from Sacramento, Calif., Mona - as all of her friends call her - was an active participant in FANHS’ Fifth National conference in 1994 at San Francisco.
Mona’s parents, Cornelio and Connie Viernes attended the First Young Filipino Peoples’ Far West Convention in Seattle. That 1971 gathering, earmarked as the “Birth of the Filipino American Movement,” has spurred the 2010 FANHS conference theme, “Quest for Emergence – A Retrospective.” A 1971 reunion will be held the Tuesday before the conference opening.
