SHEPPARTON’S Filipino Australia Friends Association celebrated their 41st Filipino Australian & Friends Association (FAFA) anniversary with a masquerade theme night theme at Overlander Hotel late last month.
The evening was filled with great fun, with approximately 145 people in attendance, donning their best gowns and suits.
Fabulous dancers performed seven different dances from various groups, a talented Ukulele group added to the musical delight, the hardworking staff at the Overlander ensured everyone was well-fed and eye-catching props and decorations adorned the entrance and the interior.
The masquerade judges, led by Multicultural Affairs Police Officer Leigh Jones of Shepparton, alongside locals James Cerini and Jeremy James from Numurkah, faced the challenging task of selecting the winners for both men and women’s categories.
“As one of the FAFA committee members, I had the privilege of witnessing, once again, the outstanding leadership of our local Euroa President, Delma Broughton, and the unwavering support from the committees, including her husband, Murray Broughton. The years of celebrations are continually improving, but this celebration was undoubtedly the most wonderful night ever,” said Mayette Martin.
