Hola, #MyComadres!
A big Thank You to Comadre Maria Ferrer and Institutional Investor for hosting us this month.
Next month, we will be hosted by Comadre Gladys Perez-Mojica at the offices of TDF, so save the date for Tuesday, November 13th, 6pm. On December 3rd, we will be hosted by Comadre Maggie Castor of AARP, and we’ll have a Holiday theme.
WANTED! We are looking for a couple of Comadres who can speak about financial planning, life insurance, identity theft, etc. at the next Chat with Las Comadres on Our Financial Health. Please email us at lascomadresNY@gmail.com.
Hosts Wanted! If your company can sponsor a Comadrazo for 15-25 people. Please let us know.
#MyComadres Campaign. We are looking for photos and mini stories about how YOU became a Comadre, and how this group has inspired or helped you in any way. We want to share our stories as we connect with each other and with other Latinas in our city and everywhere.
Job Opportunities. Please remember to let us know of any job opportunities, volunteer positions or upcoming events you come across that would be of benefit to a fellow Comadre.
Our Book of the Month is DEATH COMES IN THROUGH THE KITCHEN by Teresa Dovalpage. It’s a Cuban poison-laced culinary mystery. And, our Conversations With Book is FRUIT OF THE DRUNKEN TREE by Ingrid Rojas Contreras. It’s a coming of age novel set in Bolivia.
Register now for the Teleconference at the end of October at www.latinolit.com and you may win a free book. Listen in on the conversation at home, at work, out with friends. Listen in as you wash dishes or have dinner or hang out with your Comadres. AND join the simultaneous Twitter Chat by following @ReadLatinoLit and using hashtag #ReadLatinoLit.
HAPPY FALL!
