El Torro Viejo

Voni came late as in 45 minutes LATE to our meeting to discuss what we need to do for our grant application. I'd love to do some sort of Spanish thing to aid the Spanish community in Cache Valley which is pretty large but IGNORED. I don't see any services for our Spanish speakers. I think I need to pray about this too. The application materials are due Thursday which means I have a lot of work to do.

I don't perceive the Spanish community as being integrated AT ALL here in the valley. Our waiter was interested in attending Stevens-Henager College. Voni and I went to El Torro Viejo to discuss the grant we want to apply for. Technology and our Cache County. How do I end up in these diversity things all the time? Jonni used to attend the Spanish Branch and Carol speaks Spanish. They are very separate communities here. Do I really want to venture there? I'll probably get ticked off on more than one occasion. Bring diversity to probably one of the whitest counties in the nation? I don't think I'm up for that challenge.

The grant is supposed to address a community need AND tie in with libraries. The Spanish community is very much in need. How to integrate the two? I don't think the Logan library even has a Spanish collection. Just looking at the number of Hispanic students who attend Stevens-Henager College makes me think services are severely lacking BUT JUST focusing on library services and what they provide is HUGE.

Immigrant families need to know about these things. Hornet's nest. I REALLY don't want to go there. Whatever my father in heaven wants.

I DID NOT like El Torro Viejo-

I do like:

Elements
Mo Bettah Steaks
That Indian place at a gas station
Cafe Sabor
Takara Sushi
Angie's-I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M INCLUDING THIS!!!-BUT I'D RATHER EAT HERE THAN El Torro Viejo!!!

I need to try-The Bluebird, Le Nonne, Hermes Inn, Gia's, Jack's Firewood Pizza
