The 23rd annual Filipino-American Student Association (FASA) Heritage Dinner will be on Saturday, November 18 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Tickets are now on sale online and at the PAC Box Office for the dinner, which will be held in the Viking Union Multipurpose Room.
Publicity Coordinator of FASA, Jonathan Pendleton, hopes that attendees feel “full, comfortable and socially re-energized.”
This is one of a few bigger ESC events of the fall quarter. Pendleton called the dinner a much-needed “moment of recharge.”
The event is open to the public, with a target audience being “those who are hoping to experience and learn more about the Filipino-American experience with an emphasis on Filipino family values,” said Pendleton.
The personalized aspects of the dinner include “Filipino comfort food, songs dedicated to those who brought us up, traditional Filipino dance and an overall homey experience,” said Pendleton.
“Hopefully, with the performances we have in place, the food we serve and the atmosphere we create will give us all a chance to connect again” Pendleton said.
This is one of FASA’s most important events of the year, and the theme of the dinner is “family.” FASA desires to provide an experience “that feels familiar, comfortable, and heartwarming,” says Pendleton.
