Each year, Americans observe National Hispanic Heritage Month from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures and contributions of those whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.

The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson, and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover a 30-day period starting on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402.

Self-massage is a safe, therapeutic hands-on approach to self-care that everybody can benefit from. Due to the intensity of our work, our muscles tend to be overused or misused. In this workshop, we will be focusing on releasing tension in the neck, upper shoulders, feet, and calves. You will need a mat, or a chair, loose attire, and curiosity of how the body will feel before and after.

Join us on Thursday, May 7th, over zoom to write thank you notes for care takers! Zoom link: https://umich.zoom.us/j/6032325862

There are many efforts to thank essential workers such as health care workers, first responders, grocery store workers, and delivery people among others. However, the essential workers that often get forgotten are the child care providers providing care for the children of essential workers. They are the backbone helping to support all other efforts. We will be partnering with the Child Care Network to write thank you notes to these care takers, who will then distribute the letters to the over 1100 providers in the southeastern Michigan region, over 300 of which are in Washtenaw County.  

Electronic thank yours can be submitted to info@childcarenetwork.org. Hand written or art projects can be delivered to the Community Center and the Munger RAs will mail them!
