| Fitchburg, Wis. -- Filipino Americans, their families, friends and guests held a joyous Christmas Party at the Fitchburg Community Center on Lacy Rd. PAMANA President Ed Escall was ecstatic to welcome more than a hundred people -- PAMANA members and non-members alike, young and old -- who braved the snowstorm on Sunday to be together to celebrate Christmas. Members brought Filipino dishes and lots and lots of Pinoy desserts. "Santa Claus" (Rollie Couey) distributed gifts (brought by parents) to kids. There was a silent auction of donated items to raise funds; musical entertainment numbers; and lots of dancing. PAMANA's 2007 Christmas Party was truly a warm get-together amidst the cold Wisconsin weather! |
