07 March 08 - 08:35Activities for 2008

Our first meeting of 2008 took place on February 24 with a Welcoming Coffee. Among the major activities to take place in 2008, we would like to mention the following: A children's program with music, songs and stories of "Cri-Cri", the popular cricket character created by the well-known Mexican composer of children's music, Don Fracisco Gabilondo Soler. This program will take place in mid July and the Estudiantina from the LaSalle University of Morelia has been invited to perform in this presentation. More details to be provided later.

We are in need of sponsorship both in-cash and in-kind for this project. Should you or anyone you know, individual, business or corporation, would be interested in lending their support for this community program, please refer them to Sociedad Hidalgo, contact person: Gloria A. Bessenbacher, Director of Cultural Affairs and Special Events at joglo2@sbcglobal.net

Our other major project is the Latin American Cinema Festival. This will be our seventeenth annual film festival, and will take place on consecutive Saturdays in September and the first Saturday in October, 2008. The venue of the festival is still the Rio Theatre in Overland Park, Kansas. Each show starting at 11:00 a.m. More details to come.
