It's always a yearly event for the members of Kaba-Maasin, a community of fellow Maasinhons now residing in Las Vegas, Nevada to celebrate our city's fiesta in honor of Our Lady of the Assumption. Ever since we started this event last 2003, I've been totally involved with its preparations. I had committed to the group to do the dirty job, from initiating production numbers, setting up the program, printing admission tickets and ensuring availability of a priest to handle the novena mass for nine nights. It's always a big thankless job for the love of our Patron Saint and for my community.
This year's preparations was not an exception but to my pride, the kids and youth of Kaba-Maasin willingly participated in the preparations by assuming major roles such as organizing their own dance number, willingly accepting the Emceeing job for the night, to name a few. There will be a hundred Maasinhons expected to attend from all over the United States. Some of them already attended these festivities in the previous years while some were first timers.
It always boils down to one thing, wherever you are in the world and whatever you do in your life, once a Maasinhon always a Maasinhon in your heart and in your soul.
Happy Fiesta to all Maasinhons all over the world.
