Hi,

I am currently helping with the extras coordinating for some of the films that come to Utah. We are in short supply of ehtnic extras, as that many of the communities are not aware of the opportunities available when these films come to town. If you could pass this along to the ethnic communties that would be great.

On Saturday, March 22, 2008, the Utah Coalition of La Raza at its 15th annual Cesar Chavez Banquet presented UMBA Member Senator Ross Romero with a Peace and Justice award for his work as a legislator and lawyer in the community. Congratulations Ross on winning this prestigious award.
