Save the Date: Center for Community Advocacy in Salinas will hold their 16th annual "Dia de Los Muertos" tardeada (afternoon party) on Sunday October 30, 2011.
- Salinas, CA (1888PressRelease) August 01, 2011 - Center for Community Advocacy, 22 W. Gabilan St, will hold their 16th annual "Dia de Los Muertos" tardeada (afternoon party) will take place Sunday, October 30 at 4:30 pm once again in the glamorous setting of Salinas' recently renovated Fox Theater to honor this year's recipient of CCA's Ben Heller Award.
Center for Community Advocacy will also present the Sam Karas Farm worker Leadership Award. This never fails to inspire us all, a mark of the success of CCA - as well as the farm workers themselves.
As always, the Center for Community Advocacy has much to celebrate. CCA has completed yet another year of training farm workers in leadership roles that enable them to negotiate with their landlords for improvements in their housing units. Those same skills have empowered these farm worker leaders to become purveyors of preventive health information at their housing sites and teach farm worker parents to read in Spanish.
The dinner begins at 4:30 p.m. and ends at 7:30 p.m. in the tradition of Mexican tardeada or afternoon party.
Reservations for the CCA banquet are $100 per person and be obtained at the CCA office at 22 W. Gabilan in Salinas or by calling 831-753-2324.
Center for Community Advocacy Background:
The Center for Community Advocacy was established in 1989 with the express purpose of training farmworkers to help themselves, conducting health outreach and educational programs at labor camps and other housing sites. CCA also connects newly developed farmworker leadership with established political leadership, officials and other stakeholders in efforts to improve the health of individual farmworkers and of the communities where they reside.
