Come and join us for a night of art, music, and> celebration! Ofrendas del Corazón is a silent "heart> art" auction, which will take place Friday, February> 8, 2009, at the Habanero Café in downtown Pharr. > Between 50 and 60 wooden hearts have been given to> various students, teachers, and members of the> community such as local artists, musicians and> business owners to decorate. We have been really> fortunate to get some of our hearts signed by> authors such as Sandra Cisneros, Rene Saldana, and> Xavier Garza, David Rice and others. Comedian> Carlos Mencia also signed one, as well as the rock> band Evanescence and latin-rock band Del Castillo. > Most authors and musicians have also donated a> signed book or CD to accompany their heart. All the> proceeds from the event will benefit the Michael M.> Rutledge Legacy Award. Michael Rutledge was a> sophomore at PSJA North involved with the Raider> Band and the Dual Language program. The first> award will be given in 2009 to a PSJA North> Dual Language student who has already been accepted> into a college or university. The heart has taken a> significant meaning for us since Michael, through> his parents’ gift of organ donation, was able to> give life to four Texas residents.> > For more information, email> michaelslegacy@yahoo.com or call (956) 884-9776.
