This year the Hispanic Women's Council celebrates its 20th anniversary. Our unique multi-generational organization, born of the spirit and drive of a handful of determined Hispanas, has flourished over the last 20 years.
¡Celebrando La Mujer Hispana!
HWC hosted a 20 year anniversary gala, on October 25, 2008 to highlight some of the groups achievements and celebrate 20 years of helping women.
The event, attended by some 150 people, featured a silent auction and reception, followed by dinner, program, and dance with music by Los Tropicales. Special guests included Carla Aragon, mistress of ceremonies and the Honorable Linda & Loretta Sanchez.
