Please correct the date for the 5th annual Filipino American History Month celebration organized by FANHS PA. The correct date should be October 26.
I’ve also linked the official FANHS national office’s greetings to FAAPI here: http://bit.ly/FANHSfaapi
It would be so great if everyone interested in Filipino American history read my “FANHS and beyond” blog, especially since October is Filipino American History Month.
