Hello, Sinag-tala Family. We’d like to remind everyone that many State employees still have a great, easy opportunity to support the Sinag-tala Filipino Theater and Performing Arts Association by way of regular payroll deductions through the 2009 CA State Employees Charitable Campaign.
We urge State employees who have not yet made their pledges to check with their Human Resources department now about participating in the CSECC. For your reference, the SFTPAA’s CSECC ID # is 2344. Our profile appears on page 225 of the 2009 CSECC Directory as follows:

Description: Provides free theater, performing and cultural arts training to undeserved children, teens and adults regardless of ethnicity, age or economic background.
No school or mainstream arts programs in the entire Sacramento Valley region does what we do. We deliver the arts to children, teenagers and families who are not effectively reached by mainstream arts programs due to racial, ethnic, economic and other barriers.
But it requires donors of all levels to maintain our volunteer-driven programs. Our budget is relatively small for a theater company and yet the costs for venue and rehearsal space rentals, light and sound rentals, costumes, sets, materials, props, storage, transportation and supplies keep going up.
Whether you are a State employee or not, please help us with a generous tax-deductible contribution. Visit www.sinagtala.org for more information. Have a wonderful Holiday Season! Marami pong salamat, at mabuhay po kayo!
Sonny Alforque
CEO & Artistic Director
