To say that the weather bothered the 4th Annual Tejano/Latino Music Fest would be an understatement. With only brief moments of sun throughout the Music Fest, many decided that they would just deal with it, and the two-day event went about as well as could be expected. Those that braved the weather enjoyed the different bands, food and merchandise from the several vendors. Much like the Cristo Rey Fiesta, this event becomes a place where old friends get to reconnect and enjoy the night. In what has become a major fundraiser for the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez (LCEC), President Corina Salinaz unveiled one of the many designs on the stage that Michigan State University students put together for the Committee. Profits from the event will go towards building a archway that will greet people as they enter the Cesar E. Chavez Plaza on Turner St. With over 40 LCEC members and volunteers helping to put the Music Fest on, the decision to move to a two day event last year still looks like a good one. Could there be a third day added in the future? With a 501c Non Profit status pending, the LCEC looks primed for a great year ahead as they will hold their next fundraiser in late March with the Cesar E. Chavez Dinner. Always looking for new members as well as new ideas, consider the Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez if you would like to get involved in community service. It currently has the largest membership of any Greater Lansing Area Latino Non Profit. Lansing for Cesar E. Chavez website: http://lansingforcesarechavez.org/ Lansing for Cesar E.
