Support El Dia de los Muertos Celebration

Dear Friend of CHAC:

As an artist, educator and community member I am asking for your help in supporting CHAC.

Dia de los Muertos is fast approaching and we need your help to make this event successful. This year the celebration begins on Friday, October 23rd with a fantastic exhibition of altars and artwork titled, “El Dia De Los Muertos” – A celebration of Life! Our opening night festivities will include Aztec Dancers, historic Mexican refreshments and face painting. In addition, we will have children’s programming that includes traditional storytelling, dancing, gallery tours and, the children’s favorite, making the sugar skulls!

We are able to provide such wonderful events through grants, membership and your support!

Last year we were able to host 75 children who rode the bus to CHAC. We provided them with a tour, refreshments and a performance by the Aztec dancers. Other children were not so lucky. We had several schools wanting to take part in our actives but they did not have funds to do so. Your support is crucial! Please take a moment to select one of the tax-deductible options below and return it with your check in the enclosed envelope. You may also visit www.chacweb.org <http://www.chacweb.org/> or call CHAC to make a donation by credit card.

With your help we can make this year’s celebration a winner! Thank you in advance for your generous gift. I look forward to celebrating our success together at El Dia de los Muertos!
