Service with a Smile Across the Generations
Thanksgiving 2009
Last November 20, the Filipino American Service Group Inc. (FASGI) and fifty student volunteers from Cal State Long Beach gave a rousing pre-Thanksgiving party to about one hundred fifty Filipino seniors at the Silver Lake Medical Center Cafeteria. The Filipino-American students not only served traditional Filipino meals to the guests of honor, but they regaled them with songs, cultural dances like the fandango sa ilaw, itik-itik and tinikling, and modern dances. The annual luncheon ended with group dancing, singing and a bingo social with raffle prizes. Among the student volunteers were members of the Kappa Psi Epsilon, Pilipino-American Coalition (PAC) and Chi Delta Theta.
