It's every OYFAns (and OOFAns) favorite time of the year: Barrio! We really, really hope that you'll join us on April 6th!
My name is Megan Lee, and I am the Recording Secretary of the Organization of Young Filipino Americans (OYFA). I am emailing you today to invite you and your family to our annual OYFA Barrio Alpas: The Unconfined happening on April 6th from 2-5pm at Martin Luther King Jr. Performing Arts Center. Barrio features several Filipino traditional cultural dances, an original skit, and several modern dances performed by the members of our organization.
This year, our theme Alpas: The Unconfined focuses on mental health in the Asian-American community and the stigma that often comes with seeking help from family members and an individual's community. The issue of mental health is one that is particularly present in our lives as college students. We want our annual culture show to not only bring cultural awareness through singing and dancing, but also give our members a voice in this crucial conversation.
Your littles and other members of our organization have worked tirelessly to perfect their Traditional and Modern dances and would be more than excited to see you in the crowd cheering them on. Your littles have been such a valuable addition to our family and we are excited to see them grow in our organization. I thank you for your time and look forward to possibly meeting you April 6th. If you decide to attend, then you too will experience the same Barrio Magic that your little feels.
