Hola Nebraska, July 18th
Hola Nebraska! We are excited to kick off this week's newsletter with an announcement about a special event happening in Papillion, Nebraska. Join us in celebrating Colombian Independence Day on July 20th! This event is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Colombian culture, enjoy traditional music, dance, and cuisine, and connect with the vibrant Colombian community in our area.
This year has been particularly remarkable for the Colombian community. Not only are we celebrating their rich heritage and history, but we also take pride in their outstanding performance in the Copa America, where the Colombian soccer team secured a commendable second place. This achievement has brought immense joy and pride to Colombians worldwide, and we are thrilled to celebrate with them.
We encourage you to check us out and kindly share this with anyone who might be interested. For the articles in Spanish, you can visit this link.
