Dear FCB members and friends,

​

FCB stood the test of time. From a simple group of Filipinos, it has become a multi-perspective organization but still true to its basic tenet – a home for Filipinos in the Arctic Circle. It is quite surreal to retrospect and enjoy the different milestones of FCB through the years. The organization has indeed come a long way. 

​

FCB is not just an organization. It is a home and all its members are part of one big happy family. Family means everyone is respected despite differences in opinions and beliefs. Family means everyone deserves to be heard and no one is above the other.

​

May we continue to nurture this organization – the home that we have built in the Arctic Circle. Let us all enjoy the journey.

​

​Sincerely,

Rowena Ryvold

FCB Leader (2001 - 2003)
