Loteria Planning Meeting y Mas!!!

I hope that everyone is doing well this weekend, especially as I know our thoughts are particularly with la familia Padilla Morales. <3 With those good energies in mind, please allow me to humbly transition to some BIG THINGS that are coming up and that we need to make some collective decisions about....

Loteria Planning Meeting:
Can folks meet either Tuesday after the CSGS Conference for about an hour (4:30 - 5:30,or 5:00 - 6:00?), or Wednesday from 3:15 to 4:00?? It's really important that we have a face-to-face update early in the week, and also we need to have a more formal sit-down planning meeting either Friday or Saturday. For the second meeting time, which hours might work best? Let's start throwing some out!

Loteria Updating:
Please continue to send out whatever updated thoughts, news,etc. you might have on our gran evento! =) Much`issimas gracias a Margarita for handling the goodies, and Adilia, Carmen, y Erika for looking into the room situation. I am finishing the Event regsitration paperwork, but QUICK QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: what do we want to raffle as the grand prize??? I am stuck on the budget request because I need to put down specific amounts for any tickets/etc. that we want to have as the big premios. Please send back specific suggestions of shows, etc., so we can figure this out today!!! =) (Paperwork will be submitted tomorrow, 12.5., in the afternoon.)

CSGS Conference:
If you are still interested in being part of the panel that will present on MALCS during the afternoon session, please hit me up! It is a really fun conversation to participate in, and the "prep work" for it is not as intimidating as you might think. ;) Also, who's down to table?? Let me know asap; gracias!

MALCS Bookmarks and Outreach:
Gracias a Carmen, Eva, y Martha for making the MALCS bookmarks! They are too cute and were a definite hit at the Teatro Chicana event. To everyone: can we think of more ways that we can continue to outreach this quarter and advertise our upcoming events? The bookmarks are dope but I think we will run out by Tuesday... also, please consider making classroom announcements even this week to start getting the word about everything out and getting everyone excited!!

Ok, mujeres, I know there is a lot going on right now, so I will try and cut this somewhat short and stop for now. Take care, mujeres, and let's be in contact!!!

!Nos vemos pronto!
