12th of March Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Stall Report
On the 9th of March got a call from Reg advising me of the that we have been allocated the the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Stall Easter Saturday and also due to a late withdrawal the stall was available on the 12th of March as well. As we needed some cash to get back on track we grabbed the oportunity to do it. Despite being short of help we managed to make $2255 gross on the day with 1750 profit to boast with at the end of the day. Would like to thank and Acknowledge the following Volunteers: Rayyan Roslan, Boyong Villar, Adelaide Lopez, Regie and Lala Nazaro, Peter Balaj, Sarah and Sorin Clenci. Great Job despite the tough at times stressful and bussy affair.

5th of March Karaoke Competition and Raffle Draw results and Report
Well Well The Inaugural Pinoy Football Aid Karaoke competition And 2011 Monster Raffle has ended on Saturday and it was an event that I personally expected a lot more return for the expense and all the effort made. As we are sailing in uncharted waters and probably the lack of promotion recognition what ever.... I can speculate all day on it and may never know why and now it is just history. Definitely our next Karaoke competition structure has to be revised and adjusted no doubt or even scrap the event all together from our calendar of events in the future.
The total revenue from the contest door takings and the contestants entry fees was $1721 with total prices of approx $1400-$1500 (with the final sum TBA after the plane ticket will be purchased) so the net profit from all this effort will be about $300.00. Certainly a lot better than loosing money but considering the countless hours spent on the event this is to little.
The crowd was relatively modest as well and with only 136.5 ticket sales with all the free entrances (kids, Contestants and contestants guests and judges) was about 200 strong and far short of the expected 350-400 that I hopped for and expected to get. We had 2 tables reserved for the VIP guests and to my disappointment all but 2 did not RSVP us back and 2 tables at the front were completely empty a real sad moment for me and an eyesore to be honest with you.
Due to 2 of the contestants not showing and couple of late arrivals the show commenced late at about 7:40pm
Also we had major technical Difficulties setting up the sound and the lights and the light show was not fine tuned due to lack of time available therefore the stage lacked in light quality. with all the time spent on the sound problems encountered.
Because of all this technical delays unfortunately out of the 5 contestants that came early to do sound checks 4 unable to do them and I wold like to apologise to Ina Eriquez, Melanie Sto Thomas, Dane Rose Emalay and Marilyn Palma. Sorry to you all.
the contest went on according to plan with 2 delays due to computer freeze problem encountered and I apologise to everyone for that as well.
In relation to the competition entries I am disappointed with the response to be honest I expected a lot more but never the less that was that and all the finalists did very well and I was very satisfied with their effort and musical ability.
I would like to thank all the entrants for their support and Congratulate the Finalists and the winners for shining out on the night and they did a marvelous job as the crowd often went wild.
After the 2 rounds of eliminations and because it was getting late the judges decided that it was not necessary to go to that final round as there was no need as the 2 songs were more than ample to make the final placing decision.
I personally would have liked to see the final round but the judges made that decision and since they were volunteer professionals I had no say in it and could not override their decision in the matter.
So here are the placings:
1st Diane Rose Emalay.
2nd Edyl Salvador
3rd Joana Cabana
4th Marilyn Palma
5th Ina Eriquez
6th Johny Huckle

May I add this; The judges were professionals with extensive experience in the industry and they did not know of any of the contestants. with the exception of Johny Huckle whom is a local performer and not on a personal base.
The judges were as transparent and honest as they can be and did not favour anyone!!!!
On a sour note for the night after the awards were made the mother of one of the contestants went to 1 of the judges and confronted him by saying words of this nature " My daughter sang from the Heart and should have won and the girl that won did not"
Also have had reports from other people with people from the same entourage were claiming that the contest was rigged and they will not support this contest in the future. also may I add that the same mother send a nasty text to "Boyong".
Sorry to say but this behaviour belongs to the gutters and not people that enter in a genuine fund rising event staged by a Aid organisation.
I can assure everyone that I Sorin Clenci and all the Pinoy football Aid and its members are totally transparent accountable and stand for EQUALITY, JUSTICE AND HONESTY and never stage promote dishonest unfair bias activities what so ever. I and all involved are saddened by all this selfish and unsportsmanlike behaviour of the mother and its companions.
Final conclusion and thanks:
This event did not deliver for our organisation the revenue we expected and we encountered many technical difficulties and we also learned a lot with this occasion with the consensus that we have to go back to the drawing board reassess and attempt to fix all this shortcomings. Nevertheless from the majority of the back feed we get the people were generally happy and that is pleasing and motivates us to attempt to better that in the future but we hope to get much better response from the community also.
Would like to acknowledger and thank the following for their contribution to this event: Rayyan Roslan, Boyong Villar, Regie and Lala Nazaro, Peter Peter, Cris Andrei, Nicholas Sirbu, Sara Clenci, Jessica Clenci, Ozan, and finaly our Professional Judges on the night: Jenny Lavett, B.A., Dip Ed., LTCL. Vince Gelonese, Singer songwriter entertainer, Donald Crawford ex kj Owner and Performer.

2011 National Multicultural Festival Stall Report
This event was something we were eagerly looking forward to and also somewhat anxious for it to be a success and fully aware of its significance in order for us to reach our fund rising target. Much the same as our Christmas Pasqua Stall the weather was a major threat to ruin the event but the gods smiled on us again and Saturday (the most important day of the Festival) turned out to be great and we did well
We had a 3 day presence Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Since this was our first NMC event we encountered few teething problems but we managed to turn the event into a very very profitable event and have made a very good profit therefore bringing us a step closer to our fund raising target and we are proud to report that finally we are confident to reach our $15000+ total. Our Bank account is well in excess of $ 9000 and with the pending Raffle and Karaoke Competition Revenue we will definitely get very close and with a bit of luck maybe to exceed it. Now all this would have not been possible without the dedication and commitment of our committee members, members and a handful of volunteers that have chipped in as well.
Here is the full list of our contributors: Rayyan Roslan, Boyong Villar, Annie Nazaro Adelaide Lopez, Regie and Lala Nazaro, Lolita Javier, Peter Peter, Sarah and Sorin Clenci. The experience we all gained and the lessons we learned from taking part in this major event and gave us a great feeling of self worth and belief in our capability to deliver and as to be honest with you ar the beginning when we embarked on this exciting adventure few of our members were doubtful of us being able to achieve our target this year. but that well behind us now I guess. Our next major event is the 5th of March Karaoke Competition. Lets sing It's Party Time!.

Boxing Day 2010 Bunnings Sausage Sizzle Stall Report
First week of December we got a message from the Bunnings Belconnen Organisers via Reg Lozano our Secretary that there was a late withdrawal and Pinoy Football Aid has the opportunity to hold the Stall on the Boxing Day. We grabbed the opportunity since that was our first of hopefully more to come activity.
We were told that the store was very busy and we should expect to be very busy if the weather was good.
The activity went smoothly and with minor teething problems but that is quiet OK considering that this was our very first sausage sizzle stall activity. The weather was fair but unfortunately the store was not that busy on the day and the traffic was down on last years. Never the less we have raised almost 1 thousand dollars.
I would like to thank and mention the following volunteers that help make the activity a success: Lolit, Paul , Reg and Sarah.

5th of December Filipino Embassy food stall fund rising activity Report
The gods have been kind to us as the rain was a major threat as the forecast was rain and more rain with clear skies not expected untill Tuesday so we did take a risk and prepared a lot of food for the event and fully aware that if the day was wet we would have risked to make no profit and even a loss was a probability.
The weather was good and we sold out all the food and we made a profit of $2.300 on the day. Fantastic achievement as this was our first fund rising activity and we did not know what to expect as we (the committee members and the helpers) never worked together before. On this occasion we had displayed our upcoming karaoke competition banner that will be held on the 5th of March at the Deakin Soccer Club and top my dismay had limited success in signing up entrants...considering the fantastic prices we have on offer and knowing well how much the Filipinos like to sing Karaoke....Nevertheless the activity was a success and would like to thank all the helpers for doing a fantastic job and would not have been possible without their commitment. A huge thank you goes to Regie and Lala, Boyong, Lolit, Nanai, Paul Matthews Bartolome Sarah and Peter Balaj.

Shipment of Football Gear from Belwest Soccer Club and Brindabella FC goes to Nasipit, Mindanao on 4th of November 2010
Two balikbayan boxes containing 55 pairs of Football Shoes donated by Belwest Foxes and from the Sportsman's Warehouse collection Boxes 10 Footballs and 62 Belwest Mixed sizes and Colour Tops have been packed and shipped via LBC balikbayan boxes service in Sydney on the 4th of November.
This shipment was sent to Nasipit Mindanao and will end up being used by the young footballers there.
i will personally have the pleasure to deliver the gear.
Matter of fact I have plans to help setup a permanent Senior/Junior Football Competition, and that is a complex task as there is not much skeleton structure in place but fingers crossed. Pictures of the distributed gear i hope to have posted early next year.

September 2010 Pinoy Football Aid has become a Association
From its humble beginning Pinoy Footaball Aid has grown and became an Incorporated Association. Fantastic achievement and is far more than what I ever ever expected when I began this program.
I will give you a bit of a detail on how this came about:
For the last 2 years I was trying to get a junior Filipino team to come and play football in the Kanga Cup. I did try to organise that with Manfred Schuwerk in Lapu Lapu, Cebu but he could not get sponsorship funds to cover the plane tickets so the idea kind of faded away. On the 10th of July straight after The Central Coast Mariners vs Canberra FC match I was having a beer and a little chat with Reg my good Filipino friend at the Club and "cried on his shoulder" and told him how much I would like to be able to bring one of Manfred's InterCebu FC Junior team to the Kanga Cup in the near future and how expensive it was pay for the airfares tickets etc. and I was looking for Ideas how to rise funds. So we bounced Ideas around to see what opportunities we could come up with and Reg said " Why don't we hold a Karaoke Competition, The Filipinos love Karaoke and that most likely will be a success" I got a huge smile on my face and said Yesssss that sound great...and that is how we proceeded to form a committee and Incorporate the Association.
Since we Incorporated set out the following fund raising activities for the next 9 month with all the proceeds to go towards covering the costs for a Filipino team to play in the 2011 Kanga Cup
Here are the activities we have Planned:
Bunning's Sausage Sizzle Stalls (as many we can get (dates TBA)
Christmas Stall at the Filippino Embassy (5th of December)
National Multicultural Festival stall (11-13 February
Karaoke Competition: 2 selection heats 19th and 26th of February and Final Show 5th of March 2011 held at Deakin Soccer Club)
Kanga cup 10-15 July 2011
I would like to invite anyone that to wants know more or wants to become a member of this Association please contact us:

Belwest Foxes Soccer Club kind donation on the 14th of August 2010
On the 9th of August got a call from Toni Dodd long serving Life member of the club letting me know that the club is happy to let us have the excess gear they have in their clubhouse and arranged for me to pick it up later that week. Saturday morning the 14th i went to the Latham Football Fields and met Toni and Stuart Boschert the Clubs Junior leagues Delegate and the Masters Men's Coordinator. On my arrival i was warmly welcomed by Toni and pointed to a mountain of stuff at the back of the club house by saying " good thing that you bring the Ute as I was worried that it will be too much for a sedan'' We did take some pictures of the gear with "Stewy" dressed in the clubs mascot ball attire. I want to mention that Toni was excited and pleased to see all that gear ending up being reused by the Filipino kids and made me feel very good to see that as well.
Well at last I have accounted of the donation and this is the figure 26 pairs of various sizes Football boots, 2 bags containing 24 used footballs and several boxes and bags containing 327 various sized and colours numbered and unnumbered tops that will soon be warn by the needy juniors.
On behalf of the Filipino kids I would like to thank the kind members of the Belwest Foxes Soccer Club for their generosity and Toni and Stewy for their warm hospitable manner.
