Mayari Memos: Happy Kasama Season and FAHM!
Sunday, October 6th, 2024
Be in control. Know who you are, and don’t try to be different just to be different.
Happy Sunday, and more importantly, Happy FIlipino-American History Month! October commemorates the arrival of the first Filipinos in the United States and is ultimately a time to celebrate our rich history and culture; I can’t wait for Cooking with CoCos!
By the way, at the end of each email is a concise summary of all of the events and announcements mentioned in that week’s newsletter. If you scroll down to this week’s, you might just have the chance to win a little prize…

Syd Rod’s Book Recs
Hi guys! It’s Syd Rod, your Education Coordinator, here! I’m very excited to finally release a project I’ve been working on for months: a book recommendation list! When I was younger, I used to love to read, but as school got harder and life got busier, I lost touch with this passion. I’m hoping that with this list of recommendations, I can at least pull some of you out of your reading hiatuses to give books another shot! Not only does reading make me feel cool and awesome and mysterious, but it can also be a great stress reliever after a long day!
However, I am only one girl with so much time to read so if any of you feel passionately about a book, I would love for you to share it! Recommend your own book here.
