ProLatino Annual
Retreat 2007
Every year ProLatino has a very well attended retreat
for the GLBT community. This is where we have a
great opportunity to work directly with community
members in developing their HIV prevention skills,
and also in empowering them to have healthier lives
over all. There are several topics covered at these
events which include: safer sex, emotional support,
cultural awareness, drug and alcohol prevention,
disclosing sexuality to family, immigrant rights,
legal workshops and many other very valuable workshops.
This year marked the biggest retreat ever. We
partnered with several Bay Area Latino GLBT based
organizations in order to maximize the consistency
of the messages we carry. The retreat was attended
by close to 100 GLBT individuals from throughout
the Bay Area this year! We would like to thank
everyone in attendance and also our partnering
organizations for a very successful 2007 retreat!
San Francisco Pride 2007
2007 marked a very special and exciting San Francisco
Gay Pride Parade. This year was the first time
that all Latino based organizations participating
from the Bay Area marched together as one contingent.
ProLatino is very proud to have been a part of
such a monumental and collaborative march. Gloria
Trevi joined us this year and performed her latest
songs. So, the attention was definitely on us
this year! Please join us for next year’s
parade!
San Jose Walk for AIDS 2007
ProLatino has been one of the recipients of
funds raised at the Walk for AIDS for
several years now. We’re happy to volunteer
our time to this event as it brings
many dedicated community members and organizations
committed to stopping AIDS.
This year ProLatino volunteered by having
an information booth and also providing entertainment
for the walkers. The Aztec Dancers added a
great feeling of culture and inspired walkers
to keep going in their fight against AIDS. |
