Bienvenida - Amistades

Bienvenida
Buenas noches y una
bienvenida a todos
presentes. Amistades y el
comité Segundo de Febrero
agradece su presencia.
I welcome you tonight to this educational and cultural event.
This is a defining, historic moment for us as a community. We
are bringing the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo from the U.S.
National Archives in Washington, D.C. to Tucson.
We have come together to commemorate the writing and signing
of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, one of the oldest treaties
in the United States of America. On February 2nd, the Treaty, a
living document, will celebrate 163 years in existence.
I want to personally thank Pima County Attorney Barbara
LaWall, Congressman Raúl M. Grijalva, and Beth Grindell,
Director of the Arizona State Museum, for their part in making
this event a reality. Our donors in Tucson and Phoenix, planning
committee members, project lideres, community organizations,
families, and community volunteers all deserve much gratitude
for their support and belief in this project.
Please join Amistades in commemorating the Treaty by visiting
the exhibit at the Arizona State Museum during the month
of February and attending the Public Symposium & Teacher
Workshop at the University of Arizona on February 12, 2011.
