Washington, D.C. 20036 Dear Ambasador Valdez : On Wednesday, May 29, 1985, the Latin American Youth Center will be celebrating fifteen years of work with Latino youth in the Washington metropolitan area with an activity entitled " Celebration of Latino Youth." District of Columbia Superior Court Judge Ricardo Urbina will be the guest speaker, and will be presented the first annual Simon Bolivar Award in recognition of his untiring commitment to justice and self-determination. I encourage you and would indeed be pleased if you or your organization would participate in the development of this event. You may participate as a Donor with a contribution of $200 - $500, or as a Sponsor with a contribution of $50 - $125. Your gift is tax-deductible. The evening promises to be an eventful celebration. It will be held at Pierce Hall, All Souls Church, Sixteenth and Harvard Streets North West, from 6 to 9 p.m. Rumisonko, Washington's well-known Andean folk ensemble, will entertain us with traditional songs from South America. Food will be prepared by the Center's youth operated catering workshop. The Uruguayan artist Naul Ojeda has agreed to offer for sale a beautiful lithograph for the occasion. The "Centro de Juventud Latinoamericana" as the Center is called in Spanish, offers a wide range of programs for Latino youth. Current services include employment training and job placement, family stabilization, delinquency prevention, cultural heritage and educational programs. Please join us in this "Celebration of Latino Youth," and help support the work of the Latin American Youth Center. If you have any questions, please contact Heleny Cook at 686-0675 or Lori Kaplan at 483-1140. I look forward to seeing you. Sincerely, Reverend David Eaton Senior Minister, All Souls Church Friend of the Centro De Juventud Latinoamericana
