Help Fight Breast Cancer
Please tell ten friends to tell ten today! The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on 'donating a mammogram' for free (pink window in the middle). It just takes 2 clicks...onto the website and then in the pink box. No information is needed.  That's it!

 

This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising.
Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know. http://www.thebreastcancersite.com/

This family event is modeled after the yearly festival held in Oaxaca City each July, during which members of the region's 16 indigenous groups come together to share their distinctive music, dance, dress, and food. A Zapotec word signifying offering or reciprocity, Guelaguetza traditionally was a ceremony and celebration to pacify the gods in return for sufficient rain and a bountiful harvest.  This ceremony also symbolizes the coming together and unity of Oaxacan communities both in Oaxaca and abroad.  The Oaxacan indigenous community in California is one of the newest and fastest growing. 
 
The event, which attracts thousands of community members each year, is sponsored by the Coalition of Indigenous Communities of Oaxaca (COCIO) in collaboration with the student group Oaxaca Student Organization (OSO) and the CSUSM Department of Anthropology. COCIO is a grassroots organization in North County made up of Mixtec, Zapotec, Chinantec, Trique, Mixe, and other indigenous Oaxacan communities which have come together to foster and celebrate Oaxacan culture as well as to create projects that benefit the Oaxacan Community.
