September 5, 2026

On behalf of the Filipino Friendship Society, I sincerely thank everyone who attended and supported our 13th FFS Cotillion on September 5, 2026, at the Hyatt Regency Lisle. We are incredibly proud of our six debutantes, their escorts and families, and deeply grateful to our officers, board members, sponsors, donors, volunteers, and guests who made our Enchanted Forest come alive. Special thanks to Master Cotillion Coordinators Michelle Sta. Maria Calma and Joy Molano Vergara for their exceptional leadership. Together, we honored our founders’ legacy, celebrated our Filipino heritage, and created beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
