Neighborhood Dinner-Dance Celebrating the
Hispanic culture |
|
The Hispanic community has lacked an organizational mechanism to bring members of this diverse community together for dialogue and celebration, resulting in lack of community cohesion. A committee organized initially through two Hispanic churches has planned a city-wide cultural event designed to strengthen the voice of this growing Fall River community. They will plan and hold the City’s first cultural event in conjunction with the Niagara-Maplewood Neighborhood Association. |
