Many thanks to all our friends who attended the Nationality Rooms Holiday Open House on Sunday, December 7, 2003. Dancers performed native dances from around the world, and the Nationality Rooms were decorated for the holiday season, reflecting each country's unique customs.

The International Marketplace presented visitors with an opportunity to purchase ethnic food, and articles of clothing, jewelry, etc. from many cultures. Our own committee's Salomé Carhuaslla Gutiérrez was a wonderful new addition to this year's event, offering beautiful Peruvian merchandise.

We all give special thanks and recognition to our committee's Fundraising Chair, Salomé Gutierrez, who headed our table and donated $136.25 from her sales at the Open House to the Latin American & Caribbean Heritage Room project. MUCHAS GRACIAS!
