New Website Layout & DISCONTINUING BLOG

Hello All!

I've updated the official website layout to be more streamlined, covering just the more high-level information about our organization. So from now on there will be no more updates to this blog; instead you can now check out the calendar with all of our events at www.somd-filam.org.

Of course, if you still want to be in on the latest details and updates, sign up to be a member of our Yahoo Groupsite at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/filamofsomd/ or sign up to be on our mailing list by emailing filamofsomd-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Salamat po!
