The Australian Multicultural Group, a newly-formed group under the leadership of Fe Gilles, recently joined the picnic hosted by Frankston Mayor Sandra Mayer. The group performed the Pandanggo sa Ilaw as its contribution to the program.
The Mayor’s Family Picnic 2013 was held on 8 September 2013 at the George Pentland Botanic Garden. It was a family affair—young kids with their parents having a picnic under an early summer weather. Mayor Sandra Mayer mixed with the crowd. Magician Luigi Zucchini entertained the kids as well as adults. The Peninsula Folk Club the public with some songs that made the picnic goers dance.
Meanwhile, the group elected its officers during its first formal meeting. The officers are Fe Gilles, President; Josie Estrellado Crisostomo, Vice President; Tess Checkley, Assistant Vice President; Neds Santos, Secretary; Jinkie Muldoon, Assistant Secretary; Cristy Maxwell, Treasurer; Matatuu Kora, Assistant Treasurer; Daisy Candare Harrington and Estelita Young, PRO; Ruthy Balagot, Auditor; Clarita Cortes Lord and Bill Lord, Supply Officers; and Nada Anile, Vima Basic, Zandra Daniel, and Cristy Maxwell, Advisers.
