President's Message - Giselle Carson
Happiness is now! We sometimes convince ourselves that after the economy gets better, we will be happier. However, there is no better time to be happy than now ... summer is here and we have longer and pretty days! ... if you feel you have extra time, use it to do the things that you always wanted to do ... it can have an amazing effect on your life!
During May, we had four very instructional and practical legal seminars on the topics of naturalization, bankruptcy, consumers' rights and family law. Attendees commented to the timeliness and value of information given. Thanks go to all the many people and organizations that made these events possible.
For June, we have our next multicultural networking event planned and thank CSX for hosting us. This is another opportunity to be happy! and connect with members of our diverse community. The event will also feature a short presentation about the 2010 Census and the importance of Hispanics participation.
Feliz Dia de los Padres! Hasta pronto!
