All posts for the month March, 2017
Another great Balintawak Cuentada Session. Session is open to all at no cost. The purpose is to build camaraderie within the FMA population here in VA/MD/DC. We will be planning on doing these get together once a month with combined FMA systems. Training starts 9am-11:30 then lunch then 12:15-3pm. I only ask donations for the food portion. Our KM mom will be providing delicious FOOD as always. Look out for the next one. Thank you for all that showed up from near and far. Thanks to Guro Cy Bongon for supporting the event.
