Drumheller Filipino Community (DFC) president Sherrylyn Sapanlay is serenaded with some light-hearted karaoke by friend Edwin Manglalang at the community’s Valentine’s Day event at Drumheller’s Badlands Community Facility. The non-profit DFC was established in Drumheller in 2010.
The Drumheller Filipino Community (DFC) mixed in some business with their light-hearted evening February 14.
DFC said it is looking to reach out more into the local community with increased activities and assistance, one project at a time.
The non-profit organization celebrated Valentine’s Day with an event at Drumheller’s Badlands Community Facility, and the evening provided the DFC administration an opportunity to present and promote their 2015 projects, which are still in the decision process, to members.
In 2014, DFC members took part and/or volunteered in the Gran Fondo, Tough Mudder, Canada Day Parade, and the annual highway clean up. The group also gives local students the opportunity to earn volunteer hours through them.
Last year, the organization began a bereavement program, to provide support for those who have lost a loved one.
The Drumheller Filipino Community group was established in 2010, with the objectives of strengthening camaraderie and helping out where they can with Filipino-Canadians and the Drumheller community in general.
