Want to make your voice heard? This might be a great way to do it. We are going to send 90FM the details to Celebracion Hispana in order to get enough publicity out to the public.

Also we will be having our Education fair, so if you are interested in making a presentation on a certain Latin American country or a famous Latino please contact Alyssa Brown and let her know you are interested. We will also need volunteers to help with decorating, cooking, as well as all the other last minute things. So if you are interested in helping do not hesitate to contact anyone on the exec board.
-Activity Brainstorm
All work, and no play make SALSA members crazy. Plans were discussed to have a fun meeting at least once a month just to give the SALSA members a time to relax and enjoy each others company. Ideas for fun activities were to go bowling, have dinner one evening at the great Mexican restaurant El Mezcal, going to the movies or even just getting together to watch a movie. If you have any other ideas or suggestions as to what can be done, please let us know.
REMEMBER: The next SALSA meeting will be Tuesday September 14th, 2004 at 7:30PM
J See you soon!
