Our club’s donation to the Philippine Haiyan typhoon relief effort was presented to two Solivita Filipino groups and sent off to help that battered area recover.
Board members Ilene Malpero and Joe Clark presented the $1,000.00 check to a joint meeting of Filipinos At Solivita and Kapamilya early in January. FAS president Rudy Julian and Kapamilya president Jun Tejada accepted the donation and expressed their gratitude to our club.
The amount was immediately sent off to Catholic Relief Services, one of the organizations coordinating the relief effort.
“This quick and open hearted response to people we have never met really shows what a generous group we have in the Solivita Democratic Club,” said Club President Marti Kara. “Our hearts go out to the people in the disaster area.”
Many thanks to all of our generous members who contributed to this effort.
