2nd & 3rd Generations Organize the
46th Annual Fiesta Navideña
After organizing the Fiesta Navideña for 46 years, the event committee at the Our Lady of the Americas on 80 Prince St passes down the baton
to a younger generation. Ramon and Nancy Pérez have helped organized this event for many years. However, they both agree that is was time for the
younger generation that has grown up coming to this event to take over. “If we want this tradition to continue, we have to show them how it’s done because
we won’t be around for ever” said Ramon.
Arinda Molina-Collins and Teresa Medero were thrilled when they were asked to take on such a task. Both Arinda and Teresa took on the
responsibility as a way to honor their parents. Both of their fathers who since have passed were actively involved in maintaining this beautiful tradition alive.
“Being able to do this is and knowing that they approve makes me feel such pride in keeping our culture and traditions for years to come. The event was a total
success with traditional Puerto Rican food and music by Calle Uno and Los Parranderos de Rochester.

Youth Distribute Truckload of Free Winter Coats
Community Project Developed by
Students and Recognized by Monroe
County Youth Council and City of
Rochester with a $500 Grant
On Saturday, January 10th, students
in Ibero’s Youth Services Division gave
away free coats and toiletries to people
in need at the David Gantt Community
Center at 700 North Street. The
community project was developed by
students at the Youth Voice, One Vision
Conference at Nazareth College and
came in 2nd place out of 16 competing
youth programs.
“Our young adults have shown
leadership and collaborative skills that
encourage a bright future. These young
people worked together to discover a
way to help those in our community
in need of warmth in these winter
months, and we are quite proud of
them,” says Ibero Youth Mentor, Sean
Parmalee, who helped oversee the
project.
The second place win earned students
a $500 grant from the City of Rochester
to implement the program. So students
got to work developing every aspect of
the project, collecting 1,000 pounds of
coats! This was a collaborative effort
that also included Planet Aid, North
Street Recreational Center, The Center
for Youth, the United Way’s Latino
Leadership Development Class of 2014,
Wegmans and Tops Markets.
Saturday’s event will highlighted

encontró algunas pinturas de un
elefante asiático llamado Salomón.
Este elefante viajo de la India a Portugal

de su viaje fue porque al casarse el

the stress we were under during that

and emotional factors may take us
out of balance and negatively affect
the nervous system’s communication
between the brain and body. The
body provides signs when it is out of
balance, telling us that we need to
reevaluate stressors and take action
to correct the imbalances. These signs
include trouble concentrating, with
or without agitation or anxiety; slow
recovery from minor illnesses such as
colds or allergies; difficulty sleeping;
poor balance and coordination; fatigue
when waking or feeling generally

at your next interview or networking
event with these easy tips:
• Know how to explain any gaps in
your resume. If you have taken time
off from your field to pursue a passion
for travel, be ready to discuss this time

professionally.
• Be a good listener. What you say is
just as important as being engaged
when others are talking. Make good
eye contact and ask questions to show
you are interested in what is being said.
• Anticipate the questions you will
be asked so you are prepared with
intelligent, confident and articulate
responses. Define your strengths and
weaknesses ahead of time to answer
every hard question with ease.
