The Latino Festival of Charlotte


The MAC had a pretty good weekend. After the inaugural Madden Tournament turned out to be a bust, we made our way to the Latino Festival of Charlotte on Sunday. The atmosphere was not reflective of the gray skies that were overhead. If you closed your eyes and used you nose and ears, you very easily could have been at a taco stand on a busy Mexico City street, or you could have been at Merengue Club in the Dominican Republic. The smells and sounds that filled the air were excellent.

We saw several traditional performances on the upper stage. Even one of Stanly's very own was in on the celebration. Tequorra Green participated in the "Capoeira" presentation. She was awesome!! Nice job, Tequorra!!

We have had a lot of fun and learned even more in the process. We are still working on our trip to Querétaro, México this summer. The MAC wants you to join us in Mexico! In order to build an even stronger relationship with our sister college, UTÉQ, we would like to extend the invitation to participate in this summer's immersion program to everyone. However, if you can't make it, you can help our students by simply supporting the MAC. If you want to find out how you can do just that, email us at macscc@gmail.com.
