Hello ALL,
We are participating in the HTFI Loves 2 Help 5K Run/Walk & 1.5K Fun Walk. Please see poster for details.
By participating FAAFL tends to earn 75% of all donated monies net of the registration fee. See attached Registration/Solicitation form.
Example: If you are walking and you solicited a total of $100 and you paid the $30 registration fee–
Total donation net of registration ($130 – $30 = $100.00
25% to HTFI = – 25.00
Net 75% to FAAFL = $75.00
Note that you may take the registration fee from your solicited donations. But if you are willing and able to pay the tiny (my opinion) registration fee from your own pocket, the amount that will go to both organizations will be bigger.
Thankfully (to HTFI for offering the 25/75 split), this is an excellent fundraising opportunity. We will be helping 2 outstanding organizations one of which is our very own FAAFL. But we must work hard for it. An opportunity like this does not happen often. Let’s go all out on this.
If you are unable to walk with us, not to worry. You can designate me as your proxy and I will walk on your behalf. The key is, WE MUST ALL KEEP ON SOLICITING FOR DONATIONS! Our coffers are thinning out and badly we need all hands on deck. So let’s JUST DO IT.

Dear Fellow Member:
April 28, 2013 will be a triple header Sunday.
Starting at 8:00 AM, we will have our Annual Walkathon at the Saddle River County Park – Otto C Pehle Area, 760 Saddle River Road, Saddle Brook, NJ 07663. Please prepare your contact list. We will intensify our letter writing campaign and raise funds for our scholarship program. For more information call Steve Parrado at 201-794-7321.
At 1:30 we will have our Annual General Membership Meeting at the Parrado Residence – 24-09 Cambridge Road in Fair Lawn. We will be discussing the financial status of FAAFL, projects for the year and the challenges we face in these turbulent times. Also, we are inviting a representative from the Philippine Consulate General in New York to talk on the economic development in the Philippines, services the consulate provide, benefits of dual citizenship, etc.
As we have customarily done in the past, the annual meeting is also the time when we elect our new set of Members of the Board of Trustees. The following are the five (5) Trustees whose tenure will expire on April 30, 2013. Also a reminder that dues for fye April 30, 2014 is now due (family – $30, single – $15) and must be paid in order to cast your vote:
Please note that nominations must be received by Thursday, April 25 at the FAAFL PO Box 1362, Fair Lawn, NJ 07410 or hand carried to the meeting on Sunday, April 28.
Following the meeting/elections will be our Annual Picnic at the back yard of the Parrado residence. Please bring your favorite food to share with others. To avoid too many duplications, please call Hermie Vogel (201-791-4499) to tell her the type of food you will bring. DO NOT BRING LECHON. One will be donated by Steve & Nelsie Parrado.
Your presence will be highly appreciated, so please reserve this date. See you on April 28 at the walkathon, membership meeting and picnic.
Sincerely yours,
Filipino American Association of FairLawn, Inc.
Winter is almost over, the Officers and Trustee’s are back from a short break. Our last event was Christmas Party last year and it was well supported by the community. We had a blast! So what is new for 2013? What can FAAFL do for the community this year? Well, FAAFL’s first meeting for the year will be held this weekend, Saturday February 23. Agenda is the calendar for the year and Binhi. Yes, the search is on for the next group of scholars. There is still time, so if you know someone please check our Binhi tab and Forms tab.
On behalf of the Officers and Trustee of the Filipino American Association of Fair Lawn, wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
