To all Tejanos & Texians:
Viva the Hispanic Heritage Center of Texas! As many of you know, in December of 2008, the IRS Non-profit 501c.3 application for the Center was filed. By January 12th this year, we received notice from the IRS that they were processing the application and we could expect notice of determination in two to three months depending on the thoroughness of our application.
It is not unusual that these matters take up to six months and more! Yet, just sixteen days after the IRS receipting, great news arrived at our offices on January 28th. IRS review and inspection of our application has been completed and they have officially declared our organization a 501c.3 and issued us a final letter of official determination as such!
This great news now allows us to formally declare ourselves as a public IRS non-profit entity, begin to solicit funding for our endeavor and proceed to request land at Hemis-Fair Park for the Centers’ new home.
As a result, in October, we will have our Kickoff Extravaganza at a local resort, to publicly announce the new Hispanic Heritage Center of Texas and begin our official capital campaign. This effort will help to identify the missions, goals, and purpose of the center. Equally important will be the opportunity to conduct fund raising activities as follows: Americas Golf Tournament, Hispanic Fashion Show, and an entertainment gala.
Therefore, we are asking all Texians and Tejanos to come and join us in organizing and planning this world class event. On April 1st, we will be conducting our first meeting and assigning volunteers to various committees.
The meeting will be held at the AT&T Community Centre at San Fernando from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m . We need everyone's support, talents, and energy to make the Hispanic Heritage Center of Texas a reality. For more information, please contact Vincent Tavera at (210) 673-3584 or click here
