Or for the English speakers, A festival of lights!
Lights On Afterschool!
An event brought by the Little Village Community Development Corporation (LVCDC) in collaboration with Eli Whitney, Rosario Castellanos and the Little Village Lawndale Community School Programs.
Come share the beauty of our Latino cultural traditions!
During the event, families will walk from each community school with their farolitos/luminarias (lanterns) encendidos. Everyone will meet at 6:00 p.m. at the Manuel Perez Plaza to enjoy delicious food and student performances. We will talk to local legislators about the need to support learning opportunities in our community.
Actually, since the weather's messed up we will now meet at:
Little Village High School
31st and Kostner
October 18th, 2007
6:00 p.m.
Little Village High School

We will be one of 7,500 sites across the nation sending the message that we must keep the lights on and doors open after school to ensure academic success in our community.
Come thru if you're anywhere near the area!
