Latinos, no nos quedemos atrás

El proyecto del Wellnesss Center no es un proyecto dirigido solo para los gringos de Denison o del condado de Crawford. El proyecto del Wellness center es para todos los habitantes de nuestra comunidad en general.
Desafortunadamente los latinos hasta el momento no han querido involucrase en la participación del proyecto, unos dicen que es porque no tienen tiempo, y otros dicen que es porque no hablan inglés o no tienen dinero. La verdad de nuestra triste realidad, es que la mayoría de los latinos no les gusta involucrarse en las actividades y desarrollos de la comunidad porque queremos o estamos acostumbrados a que otros hagan el trabajo de lo que mas tarde también nosotros vamos a disfrutar.
Ya es hora que dejemos de poner escusas y trabajemos en el bien común de nuestra comunidad. Todos sabemos que necesitamos un Wellness Center donde nuestros hijos, nietos, y nosotros como adultos podamos ir a ejercitarnos, a caminar durante el invierno, y nuestros jóvenes vayan a divertirse en lugar que estén en el teléfono visitando redes sociales que no les aporta ningún beneficio para sus mentes o desarrollo humano.
Con las generosas donaciones financieras que hasta el momento se han recibido de algunos negocios de Denison, personas de la comunidad, y dinero subsidiado del estado, el proyecto esta en un 60% que se haga realidad, el otro 40 aún necesita ser colectado, es por eso que el comité encargado del proyecto necesita la ayuda de los latinos para hacer del proyecto una realidad.
Existen varias formas de colaborar: Usted puede donar un cheque por la cantidad que desee a nombre del Wellness Center y enviarlo o llevarlo personalmente a la oficina del City Hall o usted puede firmar una promesa de donación mensual o anual comprometiéndose que en un año usted va a donar cierta cantidad de dinero. O haga una fiesta o rifa o venta de comida y done lo recaudado para la construcción del Wellness Center.
No hay escusas que valgan todos los latinos podemos poner un granito de arena para la construcción del centro.
A continuación, la lista de nombres de miembros de nuestra comunidad y negocios que han puesto su parte para que el proyecto del Wellness Center se haga una realidad.

Latinos, let's not be left behind

The Wellnesss Center project is not a project aimed only at the gringos of Denison or Crawford County. The Wellness center project is for all the inhabitants of our community in general.
Unfortunately, until now Latinos have not wanted to get involved in the project, some say it's because they don't have time, and others say it's because they don't speak English or don't have money. The truth of our sad reality is that the majority of Latinos do not like to get involved in community activities and developments because we want or are used to having others do the work that we will also enjoy later on.
It is time that we stop making excuses and work for the common good of our community. We all know that we need a Wellness Center where our children, grandchildren, and we as adults can go to exercise, walk during the winter, and our young people go to have fun instead of being on the phone visiting social networks that do not bring them any benefit for their minds or human development.
With the generous financial donations that have been received so far from some Denison businesses, people in the community, and grant money from the state, the project is about 60% complete, the other 40 still needs to be collected, it is That is why the committee in charge of the project needs the help of Latinos to make the project a reality.
There are several ways to collaborate: You can donate a check for the amount you want in the name of the Wellness Center and send it or take it personally to the City Hall office or you can sign a monthly or annual donation promise pledging that in one year you will to donate a certain amount of money. Or have a party or raffle or sale of food and donate the proceeds to the construction of the Wellness Center.
There are no valid excuses, all of us Latinos can do our bit to build the center.
Below is the list of names of members of our community and businesses that have done their part to make the Wellness Center project a reality.
