RANDOM FACT:I own every season of Friends. Favorite show handsdown. I quote it in everyday conversation.
FAVORITE MAFA MEMORY:My favorite experience thus far has been our boardretreat. It was so much fun getting to know everyone ona personal level and discussing the potential of MAFA
with innovative, creative, and strong people.
PERFECT DATE?:Thats a tough one, i'd have to say april 25th because itsnot too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.teehee but forreal i'd have to say good dates are theones that are spontaneous and there is a flow ofconversation. A lil guitar playing and making me laughwouldn't hurt either :)

F EVERYONE WAS ON TWITTER, WHO WOULD YOU
FOLLOW:My 9 year old brother Matthew, because the things he says are hilariousnd I would want to make sure he's learning and growing up in the right
way.
WHY IS MAFA IMPORTANT?:
f I had to choose 3 ways to describe Filipinos, this would be it.) We are very good at adapting to the environment that we live in.
Who would've thought a Filipino could survive in the snow?) We love meeting other Filipinos. That's why our bond with ourilipino organizations and between the different MAFA schools are sotrong) We love being Filipino. We love to spread our culture through dance,
anguage, and singing karaoke. We proudly display our Filipino culture,nd live the Filipino lifestyle.
MAFA is representative of these things for our college Filipinorganizations in the Midwest. When we bring all the great minds andassion of MAFA together we can do great things for the Filipino culture.

WHYIS MAFA IMPORTANT?:
I think A lot of Filipino Americans in the mid-west growup in places where Filipino culture is not readilyavailable. MAFA is important because It is a good way
to connect with other people who share the sameculture. It provides people with great opportunities tonetwork with, and learn from one another.
PERFECT DATE?:This is a tough one. I would have to say April 25th.because its not too hot, not too cold. All you need is alight jacket.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT FILIPINO
CULTURE:
I love the fact that Filipino culture is diverse within
itself

WHY IS MAFA IMPORTANT:MAFA offers a totally different perspective. It allows us toview things on a bigger scale, connect with amazing peopleacross state borders, and collectively develop our Filipinoculture. How many organizations can say that?
PERFECT DATE?:This is a tough one. I would have to say April 25th.because its not too hot, not too cold. And all you needis a light jacket. LOL But ifyou really want to know,Id say a date where we try something new. I lovelearning things and I dont mind making a fool ofmyself :p
FAVORITE THINGABOUT FILIPINO
CULTURE:
I love the Filipino spirit. So many filipinos have thisenthusiasm, pride and fun-loving nature that I reallyappreciate.

FAVORITE MAFA MEMORY:My favorite MAFA experience was during Conference 2011because I was just a freshman, it was my first time on aMAFA event, I had the chance to meet a lot of people inthe Midwest, and it helped me become more open and
social.
RANDOM FACT:I hate roller coasters because they scare me (I know, imweak LOL). Last time I rode one was five years ago andnever rode it again.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT FILIPINO
CULTURE:My favorite thing about Filipino/Filipino-American culture isbeing polite because Filipinos in the USA still address theirelders politely by using kuya, ate, po, opo, and mano po.

Hellooo MAFA members,
Secretary here! Thanks for reading our first MAFA
newsletter of the school year. We just wanted to spread some
light on what weve been working on what we have in store. I
hope that youre as excited for this year as we all are. MAFAs
doing big things!
As this year being my first year involved in MAFA, Id justlike to give a shout out to this amazing organization. Not only
has it connected schools together but its really allowed for
some awesome relationships to develop. The people in this
organization really make it unique. We have inspiring and
strong individuals that arent afraid to cross borders and
delve into something new. Thats already a big feat in itself,
so kudos to you all :)
This summer alone has already made a strong impact. With
the Cedar Point and Leadership Retreat being a success and
the MAFA families in full launch, weve already help make
this year a memorable one. Lets keep the ball rolling and
carry this enthusiasm throughout the school year.
With MAFAlove,
Grace Geremias
