We had a fiesta! On Wednesday, March 24th, 2010, we welcomed the new Mexican Consul Titular Alejandra Garcia Williams and Consul Para Asuntos Comunitarios Lourdes Chàvez to our center. OCCTAC Board President Mary Ellen Lohnes, Consul Alejandra Garcia Wiliams, OCCTAC president Dr. Ana Jimènez-Hami The Consuls did not come empty-handed!

Thousands of pieces of art work were sent to Mexico City where a committee of professional artist painters judged the entries. The Consuls came to OCCTAC to congratulate the students who received a certificate of excellence!

Amigos! Please help us! Record a short video on your phone, inviting Ricky Martin , and share it with hashtags on your social media platforms! Ricky Martin's incredible commitment to supporting arts and children is an inspiration! We hope to be able to reach him personally - or at least someone from the Ricky Martin Foundation. Getting someone of his global stature to just say "Hello" to our students would be immeasurably valuable in motivating and encouraging them to persevere! We launched a social media campaign on all platforms on August 10th, using @ and # in the hopes of spreading the word and getting Ricky Martin's attention. Dr. Ana Jimenez-Hami and all staffers and students invite family, friends and Santa Ana and Orange County residents to help by recording a short smartphone video invitation and sharing it to their social media channels, hashtagging or adding @Ricky_Martin and OCCTAC Ricky Martin: Twitter: @ricky_martin Instagram:
