Dear Friends and Primos:

Thank you all for your kind invitations to be a friend on your networking sites. I really appreciate the invitations, but have declined, because I am not up technically to all the new technology.  I have not set up a blog, nor do I use twitter, or any of the other networking possibilities that are out there.  Maybe in a few months, I'll be ready for the challenge. 

If you receive an email which appears to be from me, selling something.  It is not from me. SHHAR's policy is not to sell or advertise commercial items.  Our mission is to
promote information to uplift and/or clarify the Hispanic/Latino presence. 

I believe that historical exclusion results in confusion. Somos Primos, with your help, is adding to historical understanding. Thank you all for sharing. 

Hugs, Mimi
