Hello!
I hope that everyone has had a very productive week. At least we aren’t watching a blizzard today like we were last Friday!
Our scholarship committee spent the beginning part of this week interviewing our finalists out of the 80+ applications that we received. It was a great pleasure for all of us to meet these exceptional students! As soon as I get the okay, I will announce the individuals that our committee selected. Thank you very much to Annette Asencio, Amy Lopez, Charles Leard, Maury Roman and Liz Varela for helping me interview and choose the three finalists.
Along with the selection of our scholarship recipients, there are other great organizations currently conducting interviews in preparation for the Hispanic Graduate Banquet. I welcome anyone that would like to attend to join us for this great celebration.
On another note, we are almost ready to start looking for volunteers for our Cinco de Mayo celebration on Saturday, May 2, 2009. This is going to be a fun event and we are expecting over 5,000 people, so please keep your eyes open for more information on this.
We are also in the process of planning for our Annual Golf Tournament which is scheduled for Friday, June 12, 2009.
If you would like to sponsor either one of these events, please contact us in the office at 806-379-8800.
We also met with 887 Media Wednesday morning and we have lots of ideas that are currently being implemented into the development of our site. We hope to have something great to show you by the end of next week.
If you happen to know of anyone that is interested in becoming a member, please let us know and we will invite them to join our great organization!
Liz, Nancy and I are headed to a ribbon cutting/open house at Amarillo Laser & Vein Clinic at 6810 Plum Creek Dr. Please join us if you can to support this member of the AHCC.
I hope that everyone has a great weekend!
John Salazar - Executive Director
