LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Fiesta Time!
On Saturday, July 28, 2012, the Young Latino Network will
be hosting its annual fundraiser, Noche De Guayabera. The
guayabera is a traditional Latin American garment commonly worn
by countrymen (campesinos), because of its coolness and
its ability to fight of the heat of the tropics.
Noche De Guayabera
is the opportunity for all Latinos and our friends to come
together and celebrate our rich cultural heritage through food,
music, and fun.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Young Latino
Network and we only continue to get better with age! We want
to use this as an opportunity to thank and celebrate all who
have given their time to help grow this organization. Noche
De Guayabera will allow us the opportunity to reunite
with past board members, engage with present membership, and
introduce future leaders.
As we continue with our mission, “To empower the Latino
community through leadership development and civic engagement”,
we have placed a strong emphasis on supporting our initiatives
through the creation of a scholarship fund.
The YLN Fund will provide scholarships for members looking for
leadership development opportunities through organizations like
Cleveland Bridge Builders, Lead Diversity, Neighborhood
Leadership Development Program, United States Hispanic
Leadership Institute, and more.
We want to help support these efforts and encourage our
community to reach further heights, by also providing
scholarships for fees associated with higher learning exams such
as the GMAT, LSAT, GRE, or certification program application
fees.
The choice of venue for this year is the Ariel International
Center, which is a historic 68,000 square foot building,
located on 3 acres, overseeing Lake Erie and the Cleveland
skyline. It is expected to serve as a catalytic one-stop center
for International business development and International events
in Northeast Ohio, celebrating the regions global diversity and
contributing to the economic development of the region. A
growing engine of business located in the opportunity corridor
of mid-town, which we want to share with the Latino Community.
So please, mark your calendar, tell your friends, and we look
forward to celebrating our 10th Anniversary with you!
