Dear media friends,

MEETING TONIGHT - The Chilean community has called for a meeting tonight at 8pm in the Holiday Inn Express, Plano. The address is 700 East Central Pkwy.

CLUB CHILENO DFW - Dallas Morning News named Jose Vallejos as president of the Club Chileno. Actually, the organization has been inactive for several years, and attempts to form a Chilean Women's Association were also unsuccessful. A week ago a meeting was held and it seems that the club is being rebuilt; five minutes ago the webpage was updated with a list of board members that was not there yesterday.

BEST CONTACT - for the past two years the de facto leaders of the Chilean community have been Rosa Collao 214-718-6424 and Rene Cuevas (her husband) 214-718-5361, although they will humbly protest that this is not so. Rosi and Rene run a successful home health business, and are directors of Cantares Musical Ensemble, the best Latino folkloric musicians in the region, as well as Voces y Danzas de Chile, a large dance / music group.

HONORARY CONSUL - Dorothy Reid is unwell, and her associate Horacio Marrull, 214-526-3267, has been filling in.

We hope this information is helpful. If we can be of additional assistance, my cellphone is 972-965-5727.

Sincerely,

Anne Marie Weiss-Armush
