We had one fabulous meeting at our board member's comedy, bar & restaurant, The Stand NYC, on Friday, September 14, 2012. It was a productive and energizing meeting where we started planning for 2013.
Elections were held and future events were eagarly planned.
We also welcomed our newest board member, Ashanti Rivera. Thank you Ashanti for joining our great team of bright, giving and devoted people, which include Jeanette Aquino-Reveron, Diana Diaz-Torres, Cris Italia, Charmaine Mayers, Fanny Mera, Jessica Morales, Veronica Plasencia, Roslyn Sternlieb, Karen Texiera and
As a reminder, none of our board members are paid for their contributions to our organization and we want to thank every one of them for their ongoing support and dedication to our organization.
November 2012 - Fundraiser at The Stand NYC
Another successful event was held on Sunday, November 11th 2012. With a storm at the heels of planning of this event, we organized and made it happen.
Special thanks to our board member, Cris Italia for organizing the event. The storm seemed to have impacted everyone to some extent here in New York but we managed to pull through and raised $400.
We had approximately 26 attendees and were able to give half of what was raised ($200) to the Hurricane Sandy relief fund.
Thank you to all who came and continue to support us by sharing our mission in helping our current and future scholars.
