FAABI celebrates 25th anniversary

By Arlene Fietas

The Filipino- Australian Association of Ballarat Inc. (FAABI) celebrated its 25th Anniversary last 16 July 2016 at the Mercure Hotel and Convention Centre Ballarat. The anniversary is a milestone journey that made FAABI strong and an icon of the Filipino-Australian Community. Intended to be a simple and great gathering, it turned out to be a memorable evening to all attendees.

To all our members, friends, supporters and those touched and reached by FAABI, thank you all for your great support and commitment. Thumbs up to all entertainers for their superb performances.

To the Mercure Hotel and Convention Centre Ballarat, thank you for the kindness and assistance on the night.
