Re: [ranchos] Hispanic Conference in Salt Lake City

Thanks Josie,

 

Oops, I guess I was looking at an old posting on their website. I got so excited that I neglected to pay close attention to the year.

 

I'm game for next year. I can definitely put it on my calendar and start saving for the trip, hope some of the other members will also consider going. I guess that means I would have to carry your luggage? (tee hee).

 

Gracias...........Alicia Avelar, Olmos, Aguayo, Ruiz de Carrillo

Hi Alicia!

The info you describe below is incorrect......Mickey Garcia was a speaker two years ago at this conference and that is when Mimi Lozano received her award.  Mickey will not be a speaker this year.....in fact, Mickey and I will be in Salt Lake City doing research in September.....  Hopefully, next year we will make it for the conference.  I do know one thing, you have to make reservations WAY AHEAD in order to get a room, especially if you want to stay at the hotel right next to the FHC library, the Best Western Plaza. 

Hey.....I just had a thought.!!!....Why don't we (Ranchos members and any other interested parties)  think about going to Salt Lake City NEXT YEAR for the conference?  When Mickey and I went two years ago it was great!  Our friend, Ruth Gomez Schirmacher, the Librarian and Latin American Consultant in the International Reference Dept., was our contact and made the speaker arrangements with Mickey that year.....I went along and carried Mickey's luggage!  :-)   If we plan a year ahead it could certainly be worked out.  I know of two hotels nearby and have a good rapport with the people there.  Of course, everyone would have to make their own reservations, etc. but we could all be there at the same time and do a lot of good net - working!  We met some great folks when we were there!    Joseph.....what do you think?

Jonathan,

I went on-line to see what this conference was about and it looks like it's open to the general public and it appears that one of the members of Ranchos will be a speaker, Mickey Garcia if I'm not mistaken.

I am considering attending this conference along with my sister in October. Thanks for this very valuable information. The only disadvantage to most is that most of the conference will be in spanish but what a great opportunity to meet up with hispanic historians and genealogists. Mimo Lozano will be a recipient of one of the awards so this is also an opportunity to meet her. If you want more information here's the URL to the website. www.legadolatino.org.
