On behalf of the Hispanic Heritage Month Committee,
We would like to invite the community in celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 through October 15. The Hispanic Heritage Month committee (HHMC) was established in 2007 to coordinate and highlight Hispanic Heritage Month events that are being offered by city and state-wide organizations. Many organizations are committed to celebrating the contributions that Hispanics have made to American society in the areas of fine arts, education, veteran affairs, business, government and health care. The goal of the HHMC is to promote and preserve Hispanic culture for present and future generations. It is through these events that we hope to continue the traditions and spirit that adds to our unique history, language and legacy.
The month-long events will begin with a press-conference kickoff event on Wednesday, September 9, at 11 a.m. in Old Town Plaza. The event will be hosted by Mayor Martin Chávez and the organizations represented on the HHMC, along with invited speakers including Secretary of State Mary Herrera. A calendar listing the month long events will be unveiled. Most events are open and free to the public.
On a final note, we would like to thank the many organizations that are working together to provide a unified effort to create educational and informational opportunities. We would also like to extend a special Gracias to MAS New Mexico who is our official media sponsor. It is through their commitment that we are able to publicize all of these events throughout the state.
Join us in the many celebrations!
Jennifer Gomez-Chavez
Chair of the 2009 Hispanic Heritage Month Committee
