The pandemic has fundamentally reorganized our relationships with family, friends, colleagues and community associations. We have learned that technologies such as Zoom, MS Team and FaceTime will never replace real human contact. It is essential to maintain social connections despite social distancing. Social connection is a fundamental need.
Celebrating BABAE 18th Anniversary in-person has provided us, the BABAE membership, collaborators, guests, and friends of BABAE the feeling of togetherness, camaraderie, and sisterhood.
With the presence of the new BABAE members, the graduates of the Culinary Art – Practical and Fun Socialization for Seniors under the New Horizons for Seniors Program (NHSP), partners organizations, collaborators and Hon. Philippine Consulate General, Zaldy Patron and his wife, Sheila Patron, the 18th Anniversary celebration was a huge success!
In grateful appreciation and recognition of their outstanding service, dedication, commitment and valuable contributions to BABAE: Council of Filipina-Canadian Women.
