Gapan Club of San Diego Information
The Gapan Club of San Diego is an association of filipinos and their families living in San Diego County, California. What ties this group of filipinos together is their hometown of Gapan, Nueva Ecija, in the Philippines. Through various activities including the club's annual picnic and the club's annual dinner-dance, this group of filipinos has been able to share their blessings with their more unfortunate kababayans back in their hometown of Gapan. Over the years, the Gapan Club has been able to accomplish the following: helping to restore a 200+ year-old church which became a national shrine of the Divina Pastora; providing door-to-door boxes of clothing, footwear, food items, and other needed goods to poor families in the town of Gapan; building artesian pump wells to provide fresh safe drinking water for remote barrios in Santa Cruz, Pambuan, Marilu, and other remote barrios where potable water is not available; and providing relief for natural disaster victims in areas of Nueva Ecija.
The Gapan Club of San Diego logo depicts the patron saints of Gapan, Nueva Ecija, with the illustrations of a shepherd's staff symbolizing both the Divina Pastora's herding of her flocks and the Magi's gift-giving. The bridge in the logo signifies the link stretching across the vast Pacific Ocean between the transplanted Gapanians who now live in San Diego County with their kababayans who live in Gapan, Nueva Ecija. This logo symbolizes the club's objectives towards providing care for and sharing with the needy of the members' hometown.
