About Barangay Club of Indiana

The organization of Filipinos in Indiana began with a nucleus of a few students and Immigrant professionals presenting programs and exhibiting arts and crafts of the Philippines. In 1964, the group participated in the Indiana State Fair. Subsequently, the American Legion Auxiliary District 11 Foreign Relations Committee requested for a program depicting Filipino culture.

Shortly after, the group was asked to present a similar program at the World War Memorial Auditorium. Then the International Club of Indiana University in Bloomington requested Filipino group to present a cultural program at the campus. The group that participated in the extravaganza went on to form the Barangay Club of Indiana.

The Barangay Club of Indiana became a not-for-profit corporation on July 3, 1974. The ground work for the incorporation was inititated by Atty. Don Faderan who was then the incumbent Vice President. The Constitution and By-Laws for the organization was developed and a Board of Directors was formed. Sixteen signatories executed the Articles of Incorporation that was filed and approved by the Secretary of State of Indiana.
