Last Monday the Centro Latino recognized its volunteers with a lovely evening of music, theatre, food and thank yous. Assuming that the affair would really be latin time (not starting on the hour) I procrastinated going on time and unfortunately missed some of the musical entertainment by local musician Dan Sebranek (on guitar) accompanied by drumming, a friend of the Centro. How kind.
The Viterbo Spanish Club was kind enough to provide the buffet and a bilingual skit about The Tree:Truth and Lies. The prime time players practiced their Spanish on us before hitting the road and presenting the play to local schools. 
A Bravo with a capital "B" for their efforts.
Brooke, Director inTraining (l) and Cameron, the Centro's director handed out certificates to all the volunteers besides receiving accolades themselves.
It's difficult to believe we have finished our first semester of English classes with both university students and community members that meet on Tuesdays in 2 locales and Friday evenings just at Centro Latino. Learning English is just one of the requests. There is childcare also provided on site so the parents can be in classes.
Dedicated volunteers lay the groundwork for fulfilling the latino community's needs as those needs arise ... You know Rome wasn't built in a day and as it is said, it takes a village. I am thankful to be in good company.
