A Note from the Dia De Los Muertos Committee,As event coordinator of our First annual Día De Los Muertos Event at East Los Angeles College, Iwould like to take this opportunity to thank many people for helping us make this program possible.In particular, I would like to express my gratitude to ASU for its primary sponsorship as well asWhole Foods Market Arroyo for providing snacks for the 160 children from ELAC’s Day CareCenter who were in attendance. Also, vendors and student organizations that were present wereessential in promoting cultural awareness on this day. Muchas gracias to all of them. Due to theparticipation of all of those involved, we had an extremely successful turnout with approximately400-500 people in attendance throughout the day.In addition, I want to acknowledge all those, especially Joyce García for her generous donation,who supported our Toy Drive for Wish Upon An Angel Foundation, which works in helpingterminally ill children. Faculty, administration and staff at the college were also instrumental inassisting to make our event a success. Among those who provided their unconditional support, Iwould like to make special mention of President Farley Herzek, VP Oscar Valeriano, Evelyn Escatiola,Susan Okawa, Dean Sonia López, María García Yepes, Jennifer Estrada (ASU President), KarenRapp and Victor Parra. Without your help and dedication, this day would have not been possible.In addition, from the Department of Chicano Studies, I would like to further acknowledge ProfessorsEddie Flores, Sybil Venegas, Andrew Monzón and Heidi Urita-López. Thank you all for yourbacking. Also to Mary Romo, Felipe Lopez, Gerardo Gutierrez, Beatriz Tapia, and NadineBermudez for attending and working our booth.Finally, I would like to comment that the music of Conjunto Hueyapan de la Familia Herrera andQuetzal as well as dance performances by Xipe Totec Aztec danzantes and the Ixtli Yolotl dancegroup were absolutely phenomenal. Their presentations received incredible positive feedback andserved to artistically enhance Día de los Muertos at ELAC. Once again, to all of our supporters andthose involved, thank you very much for everything. A special thanks to Homeboy Industries fortheir help in promoting the event throughout the city. This festival would not have been possiblewith all of you involved! See you next year for the 2 nd Annual!!Sincerely,Professor Angelita Rovero-HerreraChicano Studies Department6
