The Latino Book and Family Festival posted on March 30, 2009 by admin

We just had a great weekend at the Latino Book and Family Festival in Chicago.  Some pics are attached.  Robert signed books at Giron books and was a featured speaker. We made new friends at Corazon Community Services (Frederick, Andre and Gerry), Morton College (Victor Sanchez), Goshen College (Liliana Ballge), The Confederation of Spanish American Families (Berenice Pond), Healthcare Alternative Systems Inc. (Susana Ortega), Chicago State University (Fernando Diaz), and the amazing Ayten Santillan, a teacher at Morton West.  Thank you to all who reached out and heard our message of hope. We look forward to working with you!
