A soccer contest will run all day and feature trophies for the winners. There will be a live band, a folk dance exhibition and many other cultural events.

There is a required donation of $100 to the Hispanic Alliance Scholarship Fund at Vol State. It will go for books or tuition for a Vol State student each year. All donations are tax deductible and will be made directly to the College Foundation. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoParagraphStyle&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;NoParagraphStyle&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 11pt; line-height: 120%;&quot;&gt;Any sponsors who make donations are entitled to have their company logo displayed as a sponsor on Fiesta fliers.&amp;nbsp; Thousands of these fliers are distributed throughout north Davidson, Sumner, Robertson and Wilson Counties.

La “Fiesta de Otoño” se enlaza con el mes de la Herencia Hispana y les ofrece a todos la oportunidad de venir a disfrutar música en vivo, comida gratuita, grupos de danza y un torneo de fútbol. &lt;br /&gt;“Este año estamos expandiendo las actividades para los niños incluyendo manualidades artísticas, artesanías y cuentos”, dijo Eric Melcher, Coordinador de Comunicaciones, para Vol State. “Cada año tratamos de asegurarnos de que la Fiesta tenga mucho que ofrecer para toda la familia”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Durante la competencia de comida latinoamericana, los participantes mostrarán su receta favorita ofreciendo platillos de diferentes países. La competencia está patrocinada por la Alianza Hispana del Condado de Sumner quien también ayuda a organizar la Fiesta. Después de la actividad culinaria el público podrá probar los platillos. Las danzas regionales serán bailadas por el Hispano America Dance Troupe. Habrá torneos de fútbol durante todo el día. Habrá competencias de eliminación de “medio-campo”, “medio-equipo” con trofeos para los equipos finalistas. Tantos jugadores como equipos pueden registrarse desde las 9 a.m.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Recomendamos a las personas que traigan sillas plegables para exteriores y cobijas para que se queden todo el día” dijo Melcher. “Esto no es solo para los Hispanos, esperamos que todo el mundo venga y se divierta”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Fiesta de Otoño es gratuita. Se realizará con lluvia o sol, usaremos el gimnasio de Vol State en caso de mal tiempo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Fiesta de Otoño se llevará a cabo el sábado 9 de octubre de 10 a.m. a 4 p.m. en la Ciudad Universitaria del Volunteer State Community College, 1480 Nashville Pike en Gallatin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para más información visite www.hispanictennessee.blogspot.com, para inglés llama al: 615-230-3570, para español al: 615-230-4846.&lt;br /&gt;###</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hispanictennessee.blogspot.com/feeds/8874424843674264908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6362129859837170949&amp;postID=8874424843674264908' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6362129859837170949/posts/default/8874424843674264908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6362129859837170949/posts/default/8874424843674264908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hispanictennessee.blogspot.com/2010/09/celebracion-de-la-herencia-hispana-en.html' title='Celebración de la Herencia Hispana en la Fiesta de Otoño de Vol State'/><author><name>Vol State</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544923692797305920</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_bvwvy-S6WHc/TIpDvnvKbkI/AAAAAAAAA_M/Bo-_gAAnUqk/s72-c/spanish_LTR_2010+fiesta.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362129859837170949.post-4291001467990172703</id><published>2010-09-10T07:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-09-10T07:43:51.463-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events"/><title type='text'>Celebrating Hispanic Heritage at Vol State Fall Fiesta</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvwvy-S6WHc/TIpEFFbyXWI/AAAAAAAAA_U/Ox9W7hSy7cs/s1600/spanish_LTR_2010+fiesta.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; ox=&quot;true&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvwvy-S6WHc/TIpEFFbyXWI/AAAAAAAAA_U/Ox9W7hSy7cs/s320/spanish_LTR_2010+fiesta.jpg&quot; width=&quot;247&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The fourth annual Fall Fiesta at Vol State is a celebration of Hispanic culture and achievement. Fiesta de otoño, as it is known in Spanish, ties in with Hispanic Heritage Month and will offer everyone the opportunity to come enjoy live music, free food, dance groups and a soccer tournament. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’re expanding the children’s activities this year to include arts and crafts and storytelling,” said Eric Melcher, Communications Coordinator for Vol State. “Each year we make sure the Fiesta has plenty to offer the entire family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People will show off their favorite family recipes during a Latin American food cook-off contest, featuring dishes from many different countries. That contest is sponsored by the Sumner Hispanic Alliance which is also helping to organize the Fiesta itself. After the judging the public will be able to taste the entries. Cultural dances will be performed by the Hispano America Dance Troupe. There will be a soccer tournament running all day long. It will be a half-field, half-team elimination competition with trophies for the top teams. Players and teams can sign up starting at 9 a.m. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We’re encouraging people to bring a blanket or lawn chairs, and spend the day,” Melcher said. “It’s not just for Hispanics, we hope everyone will come out and have fun.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fall Fiesta is free. It will be held rain or shine, with the college Gym being used in case of bad weather. The Fiesta de otoño will be held on Saturday, October 9 from 10am to 4pm on the Volunteer State Community College campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin.

On Sunday, May 16 we will use this opportunity to provide information. Nonprofit and community organizations are invited to join the Sumner Hispanic Alliance in this day to reach out to the Hispanic community. You will need to provide everything you need: tables, chairs etc. Out of respect to the organizers of the soccer league we ask that you not give out any food or drink. They sell it on site and it is how they help to pay for the soccer matches. We also stress that this invitation is only open to nonprofit entities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Rogers Field is located on Lower Station Camp Creek Road, just off of Big Station Camp Blvd and near Nashville Pike.For more information and to RSVP please call: Eric Melcher Volunteer State Community College 615-230-3570.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hispanictennessee.blogspot.com/feeds/6507041636869502869/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6362129859837170949&amp;postID=6507041636869502869' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6362129859837170949/posts/default/6507041636869502869'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6362129859837170949/posts/default/6507041636869502869'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hispanictennessee.blogspot.com/2010/04/soccer-in-park-day-may-16.html' title='Soccer in the Park Day-May 16'/><author><name>Vol State</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544923692797305920</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvwvy-S6WHc/S83hXIunBwI/AAAAAAAAA3Y/eTW8m508dnc/s72-c/Hispanic+Fiesta_soccer+game+for+media+07-09-29_0132.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362129859837170949.post-5207683959941696404</id><published>2010-02-10T12:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-10T12:18:20.867-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Reuniones y Eventos en español"/><title type='text'>Taller de educativo de pago de impuestos</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conexión Américas: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Taller de educativo de pago de impuestos&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Información importante para familias hispanas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•Los derechos y responsabilidades de las personas&lt;br /&gt;que pagan impuestos a pesar de su status migratorio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;•W-7 (Número de Identificación para pago de impuestos individual)&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué es?

It&#39;s a fun way to share favorite foods from the many countries that make up Hispanic culture. Anyone can enter, including individuals, families and restaurants. For restaurants this is a great opportunity to showcase your food in front of hundreds of people. Here are the details:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Make a Hispanic themed dish that could feed at least 50 people with small portions. We provide the plates, forks, spoons, cups etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-You can bring several dishes if you would like, and each one will be judged separately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Food will be served at 11am, so make sure it&#39;s hot and ready to go. The college will not have kitchen facilities, so you will need to prepare it before hand. Please observe food safety and keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-The contest will run from 11am to Noon. Everyone who attends the Fiesta can sample the various dishes in small portion sizes. Judges will determine the winners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Prizes will be given for best food items and also for the best cultural display. If you are from Costa Rica, combine a Costa Rican food item with some interesting things to display of Costa Rican culture. If you are Mexican consider showcasing interesting things about the Mexican state that you come from. Be sure to bring a sign describing the dish, what country it is from and your name or the name of your restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-If you have a restaurant it would be fine for you to hand out menus or business cards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Everything at the food contest is free and there is no fee to enter. There is no payment for the food items, you provide it free to the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-We&#39;ll announce prizes later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-If you are interested please email us at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:sumnerhispanicalliance@gmail.com&quot;&gt;sumnerhispanicalliance@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hispanic events Nashville, Gallatin, Sumner County, festival</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://hispanictennessee.blogspot.com/feeds/5439598719694028356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6362129859837170949&amp;postID=5439598719694028356' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6362129859837170949/posts/default/5439598719694028356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6362129859837170949/posts/default/5439598719694028356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://hispanictennessee.blogspot.com/2009/06/join-us-for-october-fiesta-food-contest.html' title='Join us for the October Fiesta Food Contest!'/><author><name>Vol State</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01544923692797305920</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bvwvy-S6WHc/SkTU-z5xSRI/AAAAAAAAAr4/imK58ZoDirY/s72-c/Fiesta+2008+092.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362129859837170949.post-5885226392438710940</id><published>2009-03-26T06:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T12:59:35.739-07:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Reuniones y Eventos en español"/><title type='text'>¡Únete a nosotros para una reunión!</title><content type='html'>La Alianza Hispana del Condado de Sumner está abierta para todos quienes están interesados en temas de la Comunidad Hispana.

La Noche Familiar Hispana tendrá información desde clases básicas de inglés a cursos de nivel universitario y programas de certificados. El evento será el 10 de febrero y es gratis y abierto a todos los que quieran participar.&lt;br /&gt;“La Noche Familiar Hispana es para la familia entera en realidad,” dijo Eric Melcher, coordinador de comunicaciones de Vol State. “Muchos adultos están interesados en clases de inglés o regresar a la escuela, y los adolescentes están listos para ingresar a la universidad. Tendremos consejeros que podrán hablar con la gente en español y en inglés para responder mejor a tus preguntas.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No importa qué nivel de inglés las personas tengan, este evento puede ayudar,” dijo Terry Bubb, director del centro de consejeros. “El departamento de educación para adultos del condado de Sumner tendrá información con respecto a las clases de inglés básicas y sus programas de GED. Los consejeros de Vol State pueden hablar acerca de la ventaja de las clases avanzadas de inglés y cómo prepararse para la universidad.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volunteer State tiene muchos servicios de apoyo disponibles para estudiantes, incluyendo un programa que ha ganado premios, llamado el Centro NewSkills, que ofrece ayuda en matemáticas, escritura y lectura. El Centro del Lenguaje tiene recursos para personas que hablan un idioma extranjero, incluyendo el programa Rosetta Stone. El Programa de Servicios de Apoyo Estudiantil TRIO ofrece un amplio espectro de ayuda para estudiantes que son la primera generación que asiste a la universidad, aquellos con bajos ingresos económicos o los que puedan tener ciertas discapacidades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tendremos refrescos y también tendremos películas para mantener a los niños entretenidos mientras los padres pueden hacer preguntas y aclarar sus dudas. Todos están invitados a participar. La Noche Familiar Educativa Hispana será desde las 5:30 a las 8:30 de la noche y las personas pueden asistir cuando sea conveniente para ellos. El evento será el martes 10 de febrero en la Biblioteca Thigpen del campus de Vol State ubicado en 1480 Nashville Pike, Gallatin. El college está ubicado 30 minutos al norte de Nashville.

It is free and open to everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Hispanic Family Night really is for the whole family,” said Eric Melcher, Communications Coordinator at Vol State. “Many adults are interested in English classes or returning to school, and teenagers are just getting ready for college. We’ll have counselors who can speak to people in Spanish and English, to better answer any questions they might have.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No matter what skill level people have in English this event can help,” said Terry Bubb, the Director of the Advising Center. “Sumner County Adult Education will have information about basic English classes and their GED program. Vol State folks can talk about our advanced level English classes and how to prepare for college.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volunteer State has many support services available for students, including the award-winning NewSkills Center, which provides help with math, reading and writing. The Language Center has resources for people who speak foreign languages, including Rosetta Stone software. The TRIO Student Support Services program has a wide array of help for first-generation college students, those with low family incomes, or those with certain disabilities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Refreshments will be served. There will also be movies and fun to keep the kids entertained, so parents can have time to ask questions. Everyone is invited to attend. The Hispanic Family Education Night will run from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and people can stop by whenever it’s convenient. It will be held on Tuesday, February 10 at the Thigpen Library on the Vol State campus at 1480 Nashville Pike in Gallatin.
