The Filipino Association in Timmins hosted its inaugural Christmas celebration at the Senator Hotel on Saturday night. The event was very well attended with more than 200 tickets sold and $3,000 raised (for the association’s future events) with a raffle and 50/50 draw. The 50/50 winner walked away with over $350. There was social and choreographed dancing for all ages, party games, a visit from Santa, and a buffet of traditional foods, courtesy of Lady Luck Restaurant. DJ services were provided by the Schumacher Lions Club. The Filipino Association in Timmins donated $1,000 to the Stan Fowler Santa Claus Fund this year. “My heart is full,” said Estela Aguilar-Chow, association president.
