We just finished meeting the volunteers and participants for the Philippine Festival in Nagoya. There will be another meeting next week, May 16, 2010.
Today's meeting was quite timely, because the participants for the Chubu Queen and Princess came and we discussed what they will present at the Festival. I said timely, because the participants are Mothers and their Daughters. It was truly a Happy Mother's Day!
There were also student volunteers, and CPFA Staff. Everyone worked together, planning for the coming Festival.
