Celebremos nuestra rica cultura hispana
Lecciones de pintura que celebran al pueblo de México. Eventos “culinarios” que enseñan a cocinar con los vibrantes sabores de Costa Rica, El Salvador, Perú y otros países latinoamericanos. Las clases de Tai Chi durante nuestro evento “miercoles de movimiento” seguramente pondrán su cuerpo y mente en forma, aprenderán sobre la historia del maíz y más es lo que verá durante nuestros eventos virtuales del Mes de la Herencia Hispana de Texas de AARP.
Los eventos educativos, divertidos y emocionantes sirven para reconocer la rica cultura y herencia, así como las valiosas contribuciones de las comunidades hispanas y latinas en todo el país y más allá. Y en un estado como Texas, donde casi el 40 por ciento de la población es de origen hispano, estas conmemoraciones significan mucho.
Los eventos son gratuitos y abiertos al público. Marque esta página y regrese aquí. Actualizaremos esta página con información sobre los eventos del Mes de la Herencia Hispana que AARP Texas organiza en todo el estado.
El Mes de la Herencia Hispana es del 15 de septiembre al 15 de octubre.
