Dear Mr. Ojeda:
Thank you for donating a painting to the Spanish Education Development Center (SED)for its Velada Artistica Gala and silent auction to be held at the National Press Club, First Amendment room, 14th & F Streets, N.W., Washington, D.C. on Thursday, May 15, 1997 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
This will be the SED Center's fourth Velada Artistica event and we hope to establish it as SED's major annual fund raiser [[fundraiser]]. We believe this will become a very important yearly event because it not only generates funds to support the SED Center's educational programs for Hispanic immigrant but also gives visibility to Hispanic artists.
The SED Center is a non-profit, Community-based organization located in the heart of Adams Morgan, where a large number of Hispanics reside.  Founded in 1971, the SED Center continues to offer educational programs that prepare people of all ages, regardless of their cultural origins, to move effectively across the permeable boundaries of our culturally and linguistically diverse community.  The SED Center also provides quality child care to children of parents who work and/or want to further their education, and teaches preschoolers skills that are essential for their future schooling.  Furthermore, the SED Center provides to newly-arrived immigrants, mostly from Central America, survival skills that are needed to adjust and prosper in the United States.
Art donors will receive 2 complimentary tickets ($30 each) for the event. We know that your participation will help make this event a success and to consequently benefit the SED Center in continuing its educational programs for the community.
It may please be noted that delivery of art pieces should be between February 20th to 22nd, 1997. Should you have any questions feel free to call me at (703) 536-9602.
Sincerely,
Milagros Mateu

Transcription Notes:
In the first paragraph for the word Artistica there is an accent over the first i. I wasn't sure if that was correct. [[Image, United Way Agency logo]]
