WE JUST THOUGHT WE WOULD SAY THANK YOU FOR A GREAT NIGHT. THAT WAS KATIES FIRST TIME IN A SETTING WITH A SALSA BAND. SHE IS MUCH MORE CURIOUS TO LEARN SPANISH AND HOPES THAT WE ATTEND MORE CULTURAL FUNCTIONS IN THE FUTURE. PLEASE STAY IN CONTACT WITH US. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO KNOW YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND. WE HOPE THAT WE CAN DO DINNER SOMETIME. WE HAVE SOME IDEAS AND WOULD LIKE TO BE MORE INVOLVED WITH YOUR EFFORTS. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.
MARK AND KATIE DELEON.

Lillian,
I read the article "A Sense of Hertitage" in today's paper.  Good article and exposure/publicity for you and your efforts.  Congratulations!! 
Thanks,
Gladys

I see these dances as an opportunity for the latin community to enjoy/share their music/hertitage, not necessarily as a vehicle for more acceptance.  Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority in the US.  The new argument is when will we stop being called a minority when there will be more
of us then them.

CONGRATULATIONS LILLIAN!  I think it is great what you are doing for the community!  Do you accept GREEKS at these parties???? Or am I an honorary PR??????  Guilty by affiliation?

Lillian,
Great article!
I hope you can build on the publicity and make the
dance troupe and Feb. dance great successes.
Dennis

Dear Ms. Torres,
    Tonight I was looking at a past newspaper and read about your group and aspirations for it.  I am sorry that I did not know about it before or I would have contacted you sooner. 
 Sincerely,

     7th Annual IFG Ethnic Fest
PS  I really enjoy the music on your website!


Lillian,
Of course I remember you, vivacious and energetic lady.  Looking at the quality flyer and well organized invitation, I would expect no less from you.  I've received about 6 copies of this from different people - you're doing a great job.
I look forward to working with you in the future and best of luck with this event.

Sincerely,

Lillian,
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your fantastic event...what a wonderful success!
I applaud your skill at organizing the event and keeping people involved all night.
I look forward to many future opportunities to work together.

LOVE, GILLY
 
Hello,
Please send me information on upcoming events.
Thank you,

Hi Lillian:
We indeed have a good time last Friday.  Thank you for constantly trying to bring the Northwest Indiana Latino community toegether in festive venues.  I am sending you an email address of Jaime Viteri.  He communicates with a large Chicago base latino community regarding
activities, promotions, jobs, etc..   Introduce yourself and talk to him about advertising your activities (free) along with the activities he is announcing.   This would certainly expand your client base and perhaps make
future activites even more successful.

Hola Lillian.
My husband and I enjoyed La Noche Caribeņa very much. I often ask my husband to take me dancing and because of the drudgery of driving to Chicago, we never go. I especially liked the green balloon palm trees!  Having the food available was the icing on the cake. You know how we Latinos love a party with food. =}
The dance groups did a wonderful job of opening up the evening.  Thank you so much for all your hard work and a thank you to Dennis Papp as well.
He hung in there and did a good job of M.C.
God bless you.

 Hi Lillian,

My wife Mayo and I had a great time at the dance last night. Thank you for those announcements about Mayo's during last night's events. My daughter Esmeralda and her boyfriend Carlos also had an awesome time too. Thanks again for a wonderful time that you planned for the Hispanics here. Now  instead of going to Chicago for this kind of entertainment and dancing we can look forward to dances like that here more often in the future.

Hello, this is Carolina and I just wanted to say thank you so much for giving me the opportunity  to perform in your grand event! It means a lot to me that you remember my talent from so long ago. So, thanks again. xoxoxo
 
Lillian,
Just wanted to say that the dance was a very hot one.  How about a Christmas show with lots of Cuatros.  Maybe even some Trios.

OMG! LIllian this is like big time . . . Congratulations!!!  I am so happy that you can fulfill this dream of bringing Salsa back to its fullest...Good job and keep representing the Latinos because we really appreciate it.
 
Lillian:
 
Kudos to you for taking the helm and bringing to the Hispanic community an opportunity to reach that essence of what it means to be hispanic but even more personal to me Boricua.
I have yearned for something like what you have pulled together to reach our youth.  Not to mention I love our music and would enjoy a nice place to dance to nuestra musica.
 
Although I am was not  born in Humacao, I am the daughter of boricuas born and raised in Humacao - Bo. Mariana. 
 
I look forward to learning more on the specific strategies for improving conditions for our youth and am interested in being a part of a postive force toward that end.
 
The Lord willing I will be at your opening on  Nov. 4.

Good Day,

 

I have been away from dancing for way too long and I miss it tremendously!  It is very hard to find clubs that have salsa nights and I wanted to know what nights are salsa nights at the Club Sunset Lounge?  Whenever you can get back to me with the information that would be wonderful and greatly appreciated; although I have no one to take with me I will still come and hopefully get to dance the night away with a partner that is! Thank you for your time.

 

Hi Lillian,
 
Nice to hear from you.
 
That is great! Spreading the salsa to downtown Hammond.  This new club, is this one that you have opened? So the dances will no longer take place in Gary? I wish you the best in all your endeavers. You are working hard to keep the culture strong, and doing a very good job at it.
 
In looking at the enclosed flyer, is that you dancing in the red dress?  It's been so long that I've seen you, although, I can still remember you and the family vividly as if it were just yesterday. 
 
God bless and take care.
Liz

 

 
Hola Mi Gente,
    Just a short note to say thank you so much for your support and patronage!!!  The Indiana Salsero's were out in full force.  I was in total awe of mi gente I love you all so much.  We are so happy that everyone had a great time.  These nights prove how badly we need events of this nature in our area.  We're trying our best to provide you with  "Elegant Events With You in Mind."  We have only just begun to bring back the nostalgic moments to NW Indiana and make it real.  My applauds to The Radisson Staff for taking on this great venture.  Keep checking the website for updates and soon we will post all the pictures of the event.  
 
Please send your comments to be published on our website!!!
Yours Truly,
Lillian
