The Multicultural Academic Student Services at Central Michigan University invites all community members to its many events celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, September 15 – October 13.
Monday, September 18 - 7:00pm We meet on 3rd Mondays from 7-9pm in the UUFCM social hall and have fun with a variety of games decided by consensus. It is a great opportunity to learn new games and meet people with similar interests! Questions? Contact Jim Dealing at 989.772.0269. Saturday, October 21 - 10:00am-12:00pm We’re planning to trim the evergreen bushes, clip off the dead lilac flowers, bring in the hoses, empty the rain barrel, pick up sticks, rake, weed, etc. Please come and help out as many hands make the work much lighter! Bring your yard tools if possible. Or if you want to tackle one of these tasks on a different day, contact Norma Bailey (baile1nj@cmich.edu) and she will get you situated!
This year, your Social Justice Coordinating Team (SJCT) is asking each of us individually to set an intention – and follow through! – to involve ourselves more and/or to learn more about our neighbors and issues. We’ve divided the year into four “seasons”:
September, October, November – Hispanics (Hispanic Heritage Month) & Native Americans (Indigenous Peoples Day) January, February – Black/African American (Martin Luther King Jr. Day & Black History Month) March, April - Women (Women’s History Month) & Environment (Earth Day) June, July – LGBTQ+ (Pride) & Native Americans (summer powwow) We’ve just kicked off our first “season” at the worship service on September 10. As a team, we’ve researched books, children’s books, movies, organizations, podcasts, etc., about Hispanics (Hispanic Heritage Month) & Native Americans (Indigenous Peoples Day) so that you would have a variety of intentions to choose from – read a book, watch a movie, peruse a website, for example. Our two pages of ideas are below, and we’ll add more as events come up with the various months. We encourage each of you to make an intention and then, preferably, make it public by writing it on our Intention Posters in the Fellowship Hall. Throughout this “season,” we will hopefully be able to share what each of us is accomplishing to meet our intention! Please join in our efforts! 2023 Hispanic Heritage Month Materials 2023 Indigenous People Day Materials |
