| 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. 1993-2008 |
