FANHS and beyond

As a non-profit organization run 100% by volunteers - including the FANHS Executive Director and FANHS national archivist - the Filipino American National Historical Society truly appreciates the energies and resources of all who've supported FANHS for more than 26 years. All FANHS officers, national trustees, chapter leaders and members pay for all travel and expenses to attend meetings and special events like the FANHS biennial national conferences. Many FANHS events and projects are also funded by local FANHS leaders and friends. Cheers and thanks to all! **At the FANHS 2008 conference in Alaska, Titania Buchholdt and family continued the tradition begun by her late mother and former FANHS national president Thelma Buchholdt http://thelmabuchholdt.com who sold indigenous clothing, various textiles and artifacts from the Philippines -- including many rare pieces -- and donated all sales to FANHS. **At the July 23rd FANHS fundraiser, "Dance Down Memory Lane" (see p
