To Filipino-Americans living in the North Carolina area, save the date April 29 on your calendars.
That's when the Fil-American Community of the Carolinas (FACC) will hold its Spring Picnic this year at the McDowell Nature Preserve at 15222 York Road, Charlotte, North Carolina 28278.
The picnic starts at 10 am and ends at 5 pm at the McDowell Pavilion which is a part of the nature preserve park.
Highlighting the event is the Talent Audition for the “FACC Got Talent” contest which is divided into instruments, vocals and dance. There will be categories for solo, duet, choir and dance (interpretative,contemporary and modern).
This talent competition is exclusively limited to Filipino-American participants and the finals will be held at the FACC Summer Picnic. “Follow updates on this event at the FACC website facc.us or at the FACC Facebook page,” Edelweiss de Guzman, FACC 2nd VP, said.
There will be games with prizes open for everyone. Food is potluck but the organizers assured that three lechons (roast pigs) will be available.
“It would be a grand time we’ll be having and we invite every Fil-Americans to join so they don’t miss out on the fun,” said Miah Respicio-Price, chairperson of the FACC Spring Picnic.
Price also said the attendees can do fishing, swimming and bring their kayak and long boards to the picnic. They can also bring their own tents, she said.
Ro Lawsin, who along with Tonette Asay is in charge of the games, said the picnic gives every FACC member an opportunity to connect with old friends and make new ones.
Spring picnics sponsored by the FACC is the opening salvo to a calendar of events it scheduled throughout the year.
“It is that time of year where we rekindle old ties as well as introduce and welcome new members,” FACC past president Florami Lao Cordero-Lee said./Susan Palmes-Dennis
