Spanish Club Update - 5/3/10


Our Cinco de Mayo party will actually happen! Burrito day is a go. We have been organizing what we need to do all weekend, and today we finally began to piece together the final plan. My first course of action was to type up flyers to distribute throughout the school. An example of my beautiful work is here:


Clearly, this is going to be epic. After school today Sarah and I went to Star Market and bought some of the ingredients for the burritos, including the cheese, sour cream, and tortillas. I don't think that we have enough though, and we might have to ask Miranda and Carrie to buy more. As for now, we have nothing left to do except finalize the plans. Sarah is going to cook the meat and bring it in, along with the items we bought today, and Carrie and Miranda are going to bring in chopped lettuce and other foods. My responsibility is the avocado and the refried beans, two ingredients I believe to be integral.

Beyond the edible portion, we also have tentative plans for Chandler to be the DJ and for Kayley Mead to dance zumba with anyone else who wants to join her. Kayley is also considering joining the Spanish Club, and I hope that this Cinco de Mayo burrito day convinces her. I think she would be a great asset.

I truly hope this is a success. Not only will it be good exposure for Mexican culture and the Spanish Club, but all funds will be donated either monetarily or more palpably (toys, clothes, etc.) to the orphanage in Tegucigalpa. I hope we make at least $50 - anything will be great to bring to the kids!
