Summer 2008
Latino Alliance is on vacation, but still working.
The year may have come to an end, but eboard is working away trying to plan new and exciting events for the upcoming school term. We will be meeting throughout the summer, so if you have any ideas or would like to see something completely new, don’t hesitate to email us. All ideas are welcome!
Also make sure to check your emails weekly. Some volunteer opportunities will be coming up and we could use your help. We will also be hosting some get-togethers during the summer; a trip to the beach, cookouts, films in the park, dances, maybe even a camping trip!
Make sure to keep in touch, you don’t want to miss out on the summer fun!
Manifest!
Transmissions Art Car
Thanks to all who helped out this year at Manifest with the Art car and the parade! The car was a huge success and once again Latino Alliance exhibited their ability to incorporate art and culture into one awesome, all be it rusty, vehicle. Congratulations to all on a job well done.
Congratulations!
