International Festival

The FLI participated in the Int'l Festival this year.  We got major publicity through our organization booth.  We did face-painting and arm-paintings of people's names in different languages.  We also held cultural trivia games, which were rewarded with some type of ethnic candy and snacks.  Special thanks to David Wei (Treasurer) and Karl Mertens (Vice President) who manned the booth most of the day.

Also, special thanks to Alison Cameron (President), Syed Ali Tahir (Urdu Teacher & Entertainment Coordinator), Bimala Koju (Nepali Teacher), and Gabriela Fraga (IBO Liason) who invested their time to prepare a few culturally-charged song and dance performances for the stage at the festival.
