Wow you guys continue to do great things. I want to hear more about
becoming a non-profit. Maybe the nuestrosranchos.org group should do the
same.

and you all know how to honor someone. I'm really not sure when it will
be possible for me to come to one of your meetings but I'll definitely
look forward to it one day. Arturo seems to travel a lot more than I so
maybe he would be able to attend sooner.

thanks again for the compliment of making me and Arturo a "long range
goal" (big grin)

hope to be a complementary group to Nuestros Ranchos and not to duplicate its
purpose or information. I maintain the distribution list, so if you want to
be notified of future events all you need to do is send me a direct e-mail
and I will add you to the list.

adopting Bylaws for our group at the upcoming meeting and will be developing a

setting up a booth at the Festival de la Familia which is held yearly in
Sacramento, CA. Our meetings are lively and is made up of some very talented
individuals. One of our long range goals is to have Joseph and/or Arturo
attend one of our meetings.

other primos and primas at our next meeting. An RSVP one week prior is
appreciated since the meeting room is small, but if necessary I could try to find a
larger room to accomodate everyone.
