¡¡Today 10/16/12!! Have a drink or taco with us from 6pm - ? and support community based Dia de los Muertos in D.C.

"What will I be supporting by hanging at Haydee's on Tuesday?" you might ask.... Well, on Saturday, November 3rd, Sin Fronteras Collective will be presenting Dia de los Muertos, Noche de Ofrendas at Festival Center in Columbia Heights. The event is designed to engage families and residents of Washington D.C. in the true spiritual practice of Dia de los Muertos, demystifying the ancient practice without commercializing it, unifying people as we reflect together on life and death. Your donation will help us cover costs for the event such as venue rental, materials for the community to make altars, decorations, sound system, artists fees etc. Because we want the community to have full access, the event and all activities are completely FREE!

There is a $10.00 suggested donation but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. If you donate $15.00 or more, you will be entered into our raffle for a chance to win homemade baked goods, tickets to concerts, etc… You can also make a donation through paypal at https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=9GL8PNPUKPNVQ
