The Executive Board of El Jolgorio de Massachusetts, Inc. would like to thank the over 1,000 people that attended the 22nd annual Jolgorio Navideño, New England’s largest Latino gala on Saturday, December 12, 2011. This signature event, served as a vibrant way for the Hispanic community to celebrate the holidays while also raising awareness and funds to support worthy educational and cultural programs that preserve Hispanic culture. Because of the support of our corporate sponsors, volunteers and dedicated community we were able to carry on our Puerto Rican holiday traditions through music, food and folklore.
Congratulations to this year’s Tres Reyes honorees, José Massó, civic leader and member of the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame for his popular radio show “Con Salsa”, Jenny Cintrón, Director of ABCD’s Boston Hispanic Center, and Jose Buscaglia, world-renowned sculptor. These individuals represent El Jolgorio’s values and support our mission of promoting and fostering the development of Latino culture through education, art and civic leadership.
We hope you continue to visit our website, ElJolgorio.Org and our Facebook page for additional coverage of the event and information about the organization. Through out the year, we will continue to strive to be a leader in the advancement of educational attainment among Latino children by supporting educational programs, as well as Latino-based cultural events that preserve and promote traditional Latino culture, but this work does not happen without your support. Thank you!
And don't forget to save the date for El Jolgorio Navideño 2012: Saturday, December 8, 2012!
Feliz Navidad y Un Prospero Año Nuevo les desea,
Executive Board Members
