Your headline is an important part of the newsletter and

will help you keep the story focused.
Examples of possible headlines include Product Wins
Industry Award, New Product Can Save You Time!,

The purpose of a newsletter is to provide specialized
information to a targeted audience. Newsletters can be a
great way to market your product or service, and also
create credibility and build your organization’s identity
among peers, members, employees, or vendors.
First, determine the audience of the newsletter. This could
be anyone who might benefit from the information it
contains, for example, employees or people interested in
purchasing a product or requesting your service.
You can compile a mailing list from business reply cards,
customer information sheets, business cards collected at
trade shows, or membership lists. You might consider
purchasing a mailing list from a company.
If you explore the Publisher catalog, you will find many
publications that match the style of your newsletter.
Next, establish how much time and money you can spend
on your newsletter. These factors will help determine how
frequently you publish the newsletter and its length. It’s
recommended that you publish your newsletter at least
quarterly so that it’s considered a consistent source of
information. Your customers or employees will look
forward to its arrival.

Parent Engagement
KALAHI Philippine Dance Company
a Filipino American folk dance group for children and adults. This group is part of the Filipino Community of Seattle Family Academy program which promotes family participation and involvement in education, culture and arts. It empowers our families and students to be proactive in commu-nity and school affairs.
Family as well as Individual
Learning
A key feature of KALAHI is the partnering of both parents and children in
learning and performing our traditional dances. This pairing helps build
the intergenerational bond and contributes to the enjoyment of the cultur-
al learning process. We believe that when parents are involved, the
children perform better in school and other activities.
KALAHI Performing Group
Every Saturday morning at the Filipino Community Center our younger
students alongside with their parents, learn the skills and moves of our
traditional folk dances and do performances within and beyond our com-
munity. In addition, these young people and their family begin to forge
lifelong relationships based on our Filipino culture and values.
Folklife, Pagdiriwang , Celebrate Asia, Boeing, Microsoft, Immaculate Con-
ception Church, a couple more places...
They are FCS ambassadors.. please mention the devoted guros as well:

Youth Development Program FEATURED Program: Computer Training and Robotics – STEAM
Our Youth Development Program not only touches the children culturally but is promoting the overall health and diversity of our children.
Programming that includes, Cultural Dances and Songs, Native language introduction and proficiency, STEAM and Robotics Programs. We
have successfully integrated parent participation in all aspects of the children that we have a thriving parent group that started as Parent
Support to actively performs with their children and serves as mentors during programming.
The 98118 zip code of FCS accounts for 75% of non-Whites with a growing number of new immigrants/refugees from Southeast Asian and
East Africa. This area has earned the novelty about its diversity with 56 different languages spoken and sadly it is also an area with high
crimes rate, poverty rate, and dropout rate. A central policy in FCS’s programs and services has been “Bayanihan”--teamwork in a village.
This practice has made FCS a hub for many community groups including Southeast Asians and East Africans. Emerging issues identified by
parents, educators, and community members include:
• parents of color are concerned that there is a growing disconnect between school and family engagement due to racial and cultural differ-
ences and language barriers,
• Students of color and students of immigrant families are less ready for performing well due to school and family disengagement,
• Resources are not accessible and under-utilized by low income families, and • Culturally insensitive environment potentially erodes racial/
cultural identities of non-white students.
Our STEM based technology literacy program intends to target families with no or very limited knowledge of technology literacy and with
limited access to computers in their home. The program’s targeted populations are low income families, under-represented youth of color,
and most recent immigrant families (especially those in South Seattle from Southeast Asia and East Africa).

BM Jon Madamba –BOARD MEMBER OF THE YEAR AWARD
Jon started his board membership a couple of years ago. He saw the need and start-
ed his STEAM programming with a few donations from the Board. Because the need is
great , he decided to write his first grant through TMF and was funded last year. He
successfully completed his first quarter with much success and his second quarter is
underway. He truly exemplify the dedication and innovative thinking that will move
the organization forward. His tireless work touches a lot of children in the SE Seattle
and his selfless act deserves recognition. Congratulations BM Jon!

The FILIPINO COMMUNITY OF SEATTLE VILLAGE PROJECT
…The Legacy Continues
As you may already know, the Filipino Community of Seattle is about to launch its biggest project ever, The FCS Village. The
Village will be a mixed-use complex that includes affordable housing, community-use space and possible commercial space next
to our Filipino Community Center (see enclosed brochure). A Village plaza is also envisioned. This project is estimated to
cost $19 million and is made possible through a partnership with the Catholic Community Services after nearly five years of
planning.
Since the completion of the renovation and expansion of the FCC, the FCS has been:
Acquired several properties adjacent to the FCC for a total of about 30,000 square foot lot
Financed a feasibility study for the FCS Village
Discovered that nearly 1500 local Filipinos over 55 years old and single need affordable housing
Had our architects and development group prepare a series of site facility options
Expanded its funding and services for seniors and its technology learning activities for youth
Construction of the housing component of the Village will be fully funded from government agencies and low-income tax
credits. The first floor rooms, the Plaza and parking have to be paid from monies raised by the members and friends of the
Filipino community.
To do this, we are about to launch a $1 million capital campaign in which all donations will be fully tax deductible as we are a
501(c)(3), non-profit organization. For 78 years the FCS has been helping our community members in need. We are asking
that you make a donation to The FCS Village Project so that we can continue this legacy.
Please remit your organization’s check to the “FCS Village Project” and we will immediately acknowledge receipt of your
donation. We thank your prompt and courteous reply to our request.
Sincerely
Alma Quintans Kern
