Thank you to everyone who visited my booth at the first Philippine Food & Culture Fest in Munich last Sept. 10. We (the organizers and us vendors) underestimated the amount of people that ended up coming to the event. We apologize for the issues we encountered especially in cooking more rice. Rest assured we are looking for a solution to avoid this issue in the future. We hope to see you in future events.
Dear cherished visitors, supporters, and friends,
As we wrap up an incredibly vibrant and inspiring 2023 Philippine Food & Culture Festival, there are no words sufficient to express the gratitude and joy we feel after seeing the overwhelming turnout and the warmth that radiated throughout the event.
To our esteemed guests and enthusiasts who graced the event with their presence, we extend our heartiest thanks. Your eagerness to explore and embrace the vibrant culture and culinary delights that the Philippines has to offer is truly heartening.
A mountainous salute to all our sponsors, vendors, suppliers, influencers, and diligent volunteers who worked tirelessly to curate a spectacular array of offerings and ensured the smooth sailing of the event. The success of this festival is a testament to your hard work and unwavering support.
To my loving husband and supportive family who stood by my side, rallying behind every idea and soothing every worry - my deepest gratitude goes out to you. This festival holds a part of each one of you in its spirit and success.
A special note of gratitude to Vonny Hagenah, the backbone of this event. Your patience and professionalism have been nothing short of a blessing in guiding us through this endeavor. You have certainly set a high bar for what an Event Manager should embody.
Moreover, we are incredibly thankful for all the feedback we have received. Your insights, both complimentary and critical, are invaluable in carving a path of growth and improvement for future events. Please continue to share your experiences, the good and the not-so-good, so we can continue to enhance our representation of the vibrant Filipino community here in Germany, grounded in hospitality and friendship.
And remember, it’s never too early to become a part of this vibrant celebration! If you envision being a sponsor, vendor, or volunteer in the future, we warmly invite you to reach out and become a part of our growing festival family.
Let us keep the conversations going, the connections thriving, and the community spirit alive. We are eager to forge stronger bonds and create a festival that is even more grandiose and inclusive in the coming year.
Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat! Let’s stay connected, embracing the camaraderie that has always been the hallmark of the Filipino spirit.
Till we meet again.
With heartfelt gratitude and warm wishes,
Sarah Gidinski
