Thirty-seven years ago, a group of friends and neighbors joined together with their Norristown community and created an organization to assist the growing Latino population. Over the decades, the nationalities have changed but the needs of families remain the same; to provide security, love, an education, and a future for their children. Thus, ACLAMO was born! Derived from the Spanish verb, "aclamar" which means "to proclaim", we are committed to offering everyone that comes through our doors the opportunity to achieve the American dream of success. Our programs and positive outcomes speak to that reality. 

 

In order to successfully continue our mission, ACLAMO needs your help! Please plan top attend our First Annual BIDS For KIDS' Education auction and cocktail party benefit to be held on Wednesday, December 11 from 6 until 9 pm at the Washington's Memorial Hall Firehouse at 36 W. Elm Street in Conshohocken. This will be a fun and inspiring gathering in which you will have the opportunity to meet and network with other ACLAMO volunteers and participants, as well as those individuals who count on ACLAMO's services.  

 

Please mark your calendars.  Among the many items offered, we will have gift certificates to restaurants, sporting events, and vacation opportunities-many of which make great holiday gifts!  We hope to meet many of you, thank you.

Jenkintown Rotary Club member, Alan Van Horn, invited ACLAMO's Executive Director, Juan Guerra, to their October awards presentation, where they gave ACLAMO a first time grant of $500. Guerra had presented to the Rotary several months earlier where he met his long time friend, club member, Pat Stanton.

  

"We are grateful to Club President, Bob Firth, and honored to be chosen by the Jenkintown Rotary Club," commented Juan Guerra, "This club joins other local Rotarys that have given to ACLAMO, and we are humbled by their kind support".
