Noche de Altares 2009

"Creating the sugar skulls and art work is always a wonderful experience for our students" exclaims our visual art director Kathryn Forrest. Kathryn and Irene Arellano organized our annual contribution to the Noche de Altares at the Fiesta Plaza in Downtown Santa Ana. A chance for our students and families to celebrate loved ones who have passed. At the same time a wonderful way of celebrating the cultural heritage of Mexico.
Thank you Kathryn and Irene for your hard work!

Thank You - Gracias!

Dear Friends, We wish you a wonderful time with your loved ones for the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend. We also want to take a moment to say "THANK YOU - GRACIAS" for supporting our students and our programs at OCCTAC. It has been difficult in light of all the federal and state cuts affecting our students and their families. We work extra hard to maintain our programs and to find sponsors for our neediest students. If you consider sponsoring one child, as little as 25 dollars a month can pay for a weekly class for one students.   Just a few frappucinos less enable you to create hope and joy in a child's life. Please call or email Dr. Gail Arriola-Nickell. Happy Holidays! Your friends at OCCTAC
