CSDFEA Hosts Eventful Filipino American History Month

It was a big month for the County of San Diego Filipino-American Employees’ Association. The employee resource group hosted numerous events to commemorate Filipino American History Month, which marks the arrival of the first Filipinos in the U.S. in 1587.

CSDFEA gathered for a family picnic, held an art exhibit at Behavioral Health Services, screened the documentary “In No One’s Shadow: Filipinos in America,” hosted a book club discussion of “America is Not the Heart” by Filipino American writer Elaine Castillo, and held a food drive for and volunteered at Feeding San Diego. Plus, they awarded $3,000 to scholarship and art contest winners at their gala on Larry Itliong Day.
