WHO ARE WE? We are a non-profit organization aimed in promoting a sense of fellowship among Dasmariņas townmates. Membership is open to all our "kababayans" and all their families; children, grandchildren or descendants of residents of Dasmariņas, Cavite regardless of birthplace and their families. We have different activities scheduled yearly. An annual "Tagpu-tagpo" is held every summer, we celebrate our town Fiesta on or before December 8, to honor the feast of our patron saint, "LA IMMACULADA CONCEPCION", and we also sponsor "Dinner/Dances" to raise funds for future projects. In the early 70's, a small group of our "kababayans" came up with the idea of organizing a summer gathering to reunite families from Dasmariņas living in San Diego, Los Angeles & San Francisco areas. The first "Tagpu-tagpo" was very successful and was attended by many of our town mates. Due to it's popularity, the reunion became a yearly event and was held alternately in San Diego, Los Angeles & the Bay Area. However, due to the travel distance from the Bay Area to Southern California, it was decided that a Northern California group was needed. In the early 1990's, with blessings from the other group, the Northern California chapter was founded. And this is how we got started. |
