Dominican Day is almost here!!

It's almost here, Dominican Day (November 17th 7-9 PM CUB MPR)s is just around the corner! We have been making many preparations for the day and we as a class are very excited for the turnout we are expecting.

In terms of the PR team we have successfully created flyers and passed them out to the rest of the class and to other members of the campus community. We have also hung up both posters we made (one in the library on campus and one on the Great Wall in the CUB). Lastly, we are printing out a lot of brochures for Dominican Day, both to pass out at the event and also to have at our Hospitality table, which will be the first and last table that people will walk by as they enter and exit.
In the earlier part of the day (3-4PM) we have been able to invite the kids from Grace B. Luhrs Elementary school which we have partnered with to come and enjoy some of the festivities. They will be coming and making cards for the children in the Dominican Republic and they will be able to make crafts in the form of masks that are like the masks that Dominican people wear during Carnival. We are hoping this will be another way that we can connect the children here in Shippensburg Grace B. Luhrs school to the children in the Dominican Republic.

The evening will be our actual Dominican Day.
Here are some of the activities that we are going to be offering:
1) A Full Menu inspired by Dominican foods
2) Crafts in the forms of masks inspired by Dominican Carnival
3) Dominican inspired dancing taught by our own Dr. Ricardo of the Spanish Department
4) Spanish Lessons for beginners
5) A Photo Souvenir for everyone to remember the great time they had
6) Raffles of some great prizes

We will be offering this and more! Already, we are so excited for this event and we are anticipating much participation!
