Santa Ana Mayor Pro Tem Claudia Alvarez and the City of Santa Ana are hosting a “Community Forum on Cultural Diversity and Conflict Resolution.” The forum will “focus on the Jewish – Latino experience as it relates to their shared history and common desire to promote social justice and economic prosperity.”
Here is the invitation that Alvarez emailed to her constituents this week:
Please Join Us As An “Agent of Change” For Our Community
I would personally like to invite you to attend a Community Forum on Cultural Diversity and Conflict Resolution, hosted by the City of Santa Ana, on Thursday, October 27, 2011. The Community Forum will be held at the Santa Ana Police Community Room located at 60 Civic Center Drive, Santa Ana from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The purpose of the forum is to explore how diverse communities can resolve conflict in a culturally sensitive manner. We are extending an invitation to a cross-section of individuals and organizations to ensure full representation of our community. However, this forum will focus on the Jewish – Latino experience as it relates to their shared history and common desire to promote social justice and economic prosperity.
Additionally, we are pleased to confirm the participation of the American Jewish Committee, Anti-Defamation League, Latino-Jewish Coalition and Orange County Human Relations Commission. The Community Forum will consist of the following three components and will be moderated by Michele Ruiz of the Latino Jewish Coalition:
Jewish/Latino Communities – The Latino-Jewish Coalition
You have been invited to attend with the hope that you will join us as “agents of change” in spreading the knowledge and message from this forum to our respective communities. We look forward to your participation and ask that you join us for the entire program.
Please RSVP with the City of Santa Ana, City Manager’s Office, at 714.647.5200 or by email at mlawrence@santa-ana.org by October 20th.
Sincerely,
Claudia C. Alvarez

Thanks for the info doc - the community form should be held in Cancun - or admin's place.
That's what I keep saying about the NA meetings. They should be held in people's homes.
ENOUGH about my family - I notice that your family is not spoken about in your blog - and that is how it should be - so, ... LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE !!

OK if the issue happened in Cancun or at admin's place. The council and the other groups wanted it in Santa Ana,I believe.
I just suggested Cancun because according to the information you provided, that seems to be where the bulk of Jewish Mexicans are located - and it is a really nice vaca spot.
And possibly at admin's place because his great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was 1/64th Jewish.
The Police Community room will do I guess. Are non-latino gentiles like me invited?
".. it is a really nice vaca spot."
I mean "vay-cay spot" as in vacation - not cow spot.
Wikepedia, that's a reliable source. Try calling a Spaniard of any religion a Latino and they might slit your throat. As for Jews in Mexico, if they converted to Catholicism, would they still be Jews (hint: only women carry the Jewish gene)? In reality, you speakto of yhethe history ofor Jees and Spaniards. I doubthave Alvarez was planninghoping to goeliminate back thatto far.
And just so we are on the up and up, my wife is Jewish and I'm a KofC and proud of it.

I see you are very comfortable in your ignorance or maybe it is something more.
Go ALVAREZ!!!!!
If you are just a resident of Santa Ana and you want to attend this event, you are SOL. This "community forum" is by invitation only.
I wonder if Santa Ana residents showed up for this "community meeting" - at THEIR Community Room - if we would be denied access.
It just makes me sick at the depths this city will sink.
I got my invitation Mike, I'm shocked you weren't invited.
