Join us at the Chicano Resource Center next Tuesday, September 22nd from 5-7PM as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!
We will be making a Milagro, a decorative heart made of tin that serves as an offering in Latin American Catholic traditions.
Usually gifted or displayed as expressions of gratitude, healing, love, and hope, milagros have also become a part of the modern Chicana aesthetic and used as jewelry, decoration, and cultural connection.

Space is limited, and advance registration is required.
Visit us or see our website for details and registration.
