Please join us at the Benicia Public Library for our monthly Speakers Series.

Our speaker for July will be Annie Frias-Ramos, a leader in Vallejo of the Filipino Community of Solano County.  She was a nurse for 42 years and since she retired has been active in many roles there.

She will talk to us about Filipino culture and especially the “village” aspects of their community; their extended helping of each other here in America and in the Philippines in the barrios.  Their community works with Vallejo city council and she will tell us about that; their relationships with council members. The current project they are working on is finding housing for seniors.  As an added treat, she will give us a recipe for a very favorite Filipino dish, Pancit.  Come and bring a notepad!!!

Decafe Coffee and doughnuts served!
