Culture Corner:
Sharing The Puerto Rican Experience

In our monthly membership meetings, a member of HPRSD or a visiting guest is invited to share their experiences with the Puerto Rican culture and history. This seminar series has been denoted as our Culture Corner. Tomás Perry, one of the original founders of the House of Puerto Rico, and Jaime Chavez initiated the series.

The Culture Corner is hosted at the Hall of Nations in Balboa Park (San Diego, CA) after the monthly HPRSD membership meeting at 3PM (1st Saturday). Open to all!

Highlights of This Month's Culture Corner

At this month's Culture Corner, Angie Freeman will host our Annual Queen's Court Election:

Choose From Our Fine Young Ladies to Represent Puerto Rico in 2010-11!

Come give your support for the Queen's Court program as we choose our representatives to the House of Pacific Relations Queens Organization. 2009-10 Queen Eva Flores and her court have done an amazing job this year.

Also, prepare to see our youth (Reinitas Borincanas & Jovenes Boricuas) perform once again at the 2010 Annual HPRSD Lawn Program on Sunday, September 12th at Balboa Park. All new folkloric Puerto Rican dances...
