The Latino Heritage Club invites you to join us for our Spoken Word Night on Thursday, March 5, at 8:30 p.m. in Hoover 105.
Our theme is “Forgiveness and Love.” With the event being just the week after February, we though this theme was fitting.

Sometimes that may mean letting go of grudges, mending relationships and welcoming love.
