By organizing this event, the Latin Community intended to celebrate John Morton and his latest book in Spanish Tu Eres Las Bendiciones. The Latin Community wanted to give loving back to him, he who is always giving to us. With that in mind, they started fundraising in order to contribute to the cost of the event. The amount of $350 was given to pay for expenses toward the seminar. In addition, Rudy Contreras volunteered to raising money to buy $100 worth of books Tu Eres Las Bendiciones. Those books were given that night to the participants. No one who wanted a book that night was left without one. There are some books left that will be taken to the public libraries in the city of Los Angeles and vicinity. John Morton started signing and writing blessings at 5:50 PM until about 7:20 PM. Then, after the seminar concluded, he continued signing books until all the books were blessed. What is new for us is that he wrote all the blessings in Spanish. GRACIAS John.
The entertainment was gracious and delicate. Merril Collins played the piano 30 minutes before the seminar started, and after the seminar, she ended with a song called Baruch Bashan. The Latin flavor was added by Clara-Beatriz who sang her newly composed song: Traveler. To close the event, after desserts, Monica Chavez came with her new band, and there was singing and dancing to tropical rhythms. One hundred and one persons registered at the door, without counting the 40 assistants. Some people came from other community organizations. We counted 26 persons attending an MSIA event for the first time. It was indeed an EVENING of BLESSINGS. |
