| HWNT FALL MEMBERSHIP DRIVE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 A
letter from the State Executive BoardDear HWNT Members, It's that time of the year for the Hispanic Women's Network of Texas to begin our Annual Membership Drive for 2009. First, we want to thank you for your continued support along with your commitment of time, talent and treasures. It is folks like you who make HWNT a strong organization by helping us "promote the advancement of women in public, corporate and civic life". As we bring 2008 to a close, we want to welcome back to HWNT our chapter in Laredo and the newly formed chapters in Houston and Denton. Other cities have expressed interest in establishing their own HWNT chapters in other areas of Texas like Odessa/Midland, El Paso, Kingsville and Brownsville. Local chapters are hosting membership mixers and other events to kick-off their fall membership drives which officially began in October and will continue until December 2008. Again, thank you for what you do for HWNT. We look forward to having you make HWNT shine in 2009! Abrazos, Carmen Garcia Susie Olmos-Soto State Chair State Vice Chair for Membership |

chapters will support the 2010 U.S.
Census which will take place
nationally starting April 1, 2010
and will count everyone living in
the U.S. According to the U.S.
Census, the confidential survey is
required by law, is taken every 10
years and is crucial to how
decisions are made in the government
including the distribution of
Congressional seats as well as the
allocation of $300 billion in
federal funds to communities each
year.
Texas is part of the Dallas region
which also includes Louisiana and
Mississippi, the Gulf Coast area and
the majority of the U.S.-Mexico
