O. Box 3040 Pueblo,CO 81005 June 24, 2018 Mr. Sam Asad City Manager, 1 City Hall Place Pueblo,CO 81003 Dear Mr.Asad: On the advice of Ray Aguilera, City Councilman, I am writing this letter on behalf of the Genealogical Society of Hispanic America as co-chair of our twenty-ninth annual conference being held in Pueblo August 17-19. We have a chapter in Pueblo called the Fray Angelico Chavez Chapter founded in 1989. Our mission is to promote Hispanic genealogical and historical research and education and to expand awareness of Hispanic culture, history and traditions. Our mission certainly fits in with the City of Pueblo's mission of pride in our community, its history, work ethic and diverse culture. Our theme this year is"Walking the Paths of our Ancestors: Maps, Migrations and Destinations."This fits in perfectly with El Pueblo Museum's current exhibit on Borderlands and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. We will have many scholars addressing this topic along with other topics important to not only Hispanics but all people. To find out more about us,our website is gsha.net. We are asking the City of Pueblo for a$500 sponsorship to help defray either costs with either the reception or bringing our keynote speaker, Dr Manual Garcia y Griego, a professor at the University of New Mexico and scholar with expertise on the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and Southwest studies. We will give the City of Pueblo credit in all our advertising and invite city council members to attend the reception.The conference will be held at the Rawlings library and we expect 200 attendees.The attendees will be bringing their dollars to many businesses in Pueblo over five days. Our official hotel is the Marriott and we expect people from all over the state and country to attend.CSU-Pueblo is sponsoring five students to come to the conference and this is one of our goals to get as many of our youth to attend as possible.The Hispanic population is almost 50 percent in Pueblo County and our conferences are about sharing knowledge about this diverse culture. I am attaching a flier about our conference and a tentative schedule. If you would like to meet with me to discuss this further, my phone number is(719)214-7253.Thank you and Mr.Aguilera for your time. Very truly yours, Charlene Garcia Simms 0-0 P-JLAr- GSHA 2018 Annual Conference co-chair AcLu (QrG¼
