SAVE THE DATE ---WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2008 --- for an interesting and
educational day in Topeka, Kansas. I know not all of you are Kansas
residents, however, you are invited.

Traditionally, the day in Topeka was titled "Hispanic Day on the Hill."
Whatever the day is titled, the objective remains the same, and, is to
encourage Hispanics/Latinos of all ages to become politically involved
at all levels.

I have yet to see an official agenda, but, I do know the keynote speaker
will be Julie Chavez Rodriguez (granddaughter of Cesar E. Chavez). Ms.
Rodriguez's speech is titled "Working Together to Reach a Common Goal:
The Ability of Cesar E. Chavez to Unite Communities."

The program will begin at 10:00 AM on the second floor of the Capitol's
rotunda. After the speech, the day will continue with lunch and
conversations with State Agency Secretaries and State Legislators.

At the Kansas Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission's website,
you'll find a brief video clip about Cesar Chavez and the hunger fasts
he endured. If you wish more information about this Topeka event, I
encourage you to view the KHLAAC website referenced above/below.
