Hi, I hope you are all enjoying Hispanic Heritage Month events and
activities. This is a good time to give positive visibility to our
ancestors.  The featured article is on National History Day, an
opportunity for each of us to help encourage inclusive history within
our community schools. 



A big thank you to all for the interesting materials, articles and
information that I receive in abundance.  If you have sent something
which you've not seen published yet, please let me know.  It is
difficult to keep each issue under 180 pages, and keep a balance, and a
variety. 



This notification is a service, if you prefer not to receive it, please
let me know.



Warm Regards,  Mimi
