Hi:

As the publisher of the only Hispanic oriented newspaper in the Central New
York area, and member of the Onondaga County Latino Caucus, I was asked to
be one of the organizers for this year's Hispanic Heritage Month's events in
Syracuse, New York. The theme for this year will be "Hispanic Food", and we
are preparing several events that are related or have to do with "Latino
Cuisine".

Among many other activities we are preparing to celebrate this occasion, we
are also providing a series of "cooking demonstrations" in downtown
Syracuse, every Friday during this month (Sept. 17 & 24, and Oct. 1 & 8).
Five (5) local Hispanic restaurants were invited to provide individual
presentations of selected Latino dishes, and some other local celebrities
(including the mayor and other politicians) will be present as part of the
"demonstrators".

The purpose of this note is to kindly request for a complementary copy (or
two) of any "cook book". We are looking around for any predominant "Hispanic
food" related books (guides, recipes, instruction, history, etc.), in either
English and/or Spanish. We are looking for these publications, as part of
the promotion we are doing for the Hispanic Heritage Month activities, where
we would like to "donate" a copy of this publication, to a lucky member of
the audience. Additionally, if you desire, we can also provide with order
forms and purchasing information during these events, hopefully offering a
special (optional) discount, as commemoration of the Hispanic Heritage
Month. Of course, proper acknowledgement of your contribution, and public
recognition of your work will be widely and clearly announced.

If this contribution is possible, please send offered material to our
facilities located at:

CNY Latino newspaper
1529 Woodmancy Road
Tully, New York 13159-9791

Please, let me know as soon as possible if you could help us with this
contribution, and with any other "Comida Latina" related assistance.

Sincerely yours;


Hugo Acosta
