                          Motto: Unity and Friendship

     Summer of 1978, during a family gathering, several of the                 
    Filipino-American families and friends talked about forming an            
     association. The group had planned to meet again to pursue plans    
     to form an association. The first meeting was held at the                        
     Mangindin's residence. There were at least approximately 20               
     people attended. The group elected their first president which was    
     Lolita Mangindin. Prior to taking her oath of office as the first                
     president of the "Filipino-American Association." Fall of 1978,              
     another group emerged which was called "Philippine International    
     Association of Colorado Springs". Ms Lolita Mangindin was                 
     elected as their first president. Winter of 1980, the                 
    Filipino-American Association cease to exist. The Philippine
    International Association of Colorado Springs continue to cater its
    goals. Summer of 1992, many Filipino-Americans have voiced their
    interest in supporting the organization of a Filipino-American
    community. A survey was conducted by Ron Nono in December
    1992 and the results were an overwhelming approval of support
    for a new Filipino-American community. January 1993, the initial         
     preparation of the community organizational instruments
    (by-laws) was drafted and the request for non-profit organization
    was submitted. On March 1993, the community elected their first
    president. The Filipino-American Community of Southern
    Colorado is now on its 12th year of existence and we are proud of
    the many accomplishments, contributions and sacrifice made by
    members of the community to make our community better.
