PASCO August 16, 2006

Cultural Classes:
Philippine Martial Arts this coming Saturday at Knights of Columbus from 10:00-12:00pm with Art Dacoscos. Address for the Knights is 13645 E. Bayaud, Aurora CO 80012.   Fee is $5.00 per person, interested students please come on time. We need to know who will be attending this classes since it is too frustrating for our instructor to have planned the class and only a few people show up. For those that signed up for this class, let me know if you are still interested.  We need to have at least 10 students to continue to offer this class
Philippine Rondalla Class- Informational meeting will be held on August 27th at 1:30 pm for those interested in joining the class. Venue for the meeting will be at the Ladies Auxiliary Room at the Knights of Columbus. Dance classes wil be conducted at the main room of the Knights while the meeting is going on. Come and meet Edna Culig, the instructor for this rondalla class. PASCO is very lucky to have Edna agree to devote her time in teaching this class. Edna is a well known rondalla instructor and a music professor at the University of the Philippines. She had traveled extensively in Asia and Europe to conduct seminars and training.  She is now a doctoral student for music instruction at the University of Colorado in Boulder. I encourage music enthusiast to take advantage of this rare opportunity to learn with a great teacher.
Cultural Dance Class on August 27th will be at the Knights of Columbus main hall. Class times are the 1:30 to 3:00 for children and 3:00-5:00pm for teens and adults. I need to hear from the participants of the dance class their committeemen to participate for the proposed  spring show, Fiesta Filipinas. I need to hear from you either by email or by phone by the end of this month. If we do not have enough participants, there will be no show and it will be the end of our regular dance classes.
Save the date for PASCO’s only fund raising event will be a dinner/dance, fashion show which will be on Saturday, Oct 7th. Details to follow.
 The Boulder Asian festival will be this weekend August 19-20 at the Pear Street mall Courthouse Lawn. PASCO will be performing Sunday at 2:00pm

There will be a meeting prior to the start of the 3:00 dance class, this is mostly for the teens and their parents and also for the parents of our children in the dance class.

I expect your full attendance to this meeting.
