A few companies from Jacksonville pulled together to sponsor this event to help the victims of Typhoon Sendong in the Philippines. It was a top-notch program that brought together the Asian community in Jacksonville. I've never seen anything like this, and from what I hear, nothing of this magnitude has ever happened in the Jacksonville area. And get this, they were able to put this together in 30 days!!!
Even our Mayor Alvin Brown spoke to the group.
There were some dances from Asia groups, an awesome martial artist, and even a lady that wow'ed us with her hula hoop skills.
I met some wonderful people that night, a lady who works at Medtronics (one of the sponsors), a few people from GE Aviation, and some key members of the WeFilipino Inc organization.
It was a wonderful night. I'm grateful for the generous people in this community to pull together for this cause.
