Hello everyone,
Thank you for attending to our 8[th] AGM.
We have been very busy as usual, organizing the catch up zoom meetings each month and providing our regular cultural events and activities.
As usual we are always organizing our usual face to face events, like, March International Women’s Day, Summer get together meetings, trip and especially the Saturdays meet and greet at our premises at 57 Market Street. The Shop is more accessible for all, especially for the increasing numbers of the Pilipino and their family, it is indeed getting busier at their individual work, as well as attending various social activities.
Without any further ado, I will now hand over you to Rosa to hear more about events and activities reports from our busy year. Once again thank you for your help and support this past year and to your continued support this coming year ahead.
