HUNDREDS OF SORORITY WOMEN GATHER IN ALBUQUERQUE
FOR ANNUAL CONVENTION

Members of Multicultural Sorority Visit New Mexico for a Weekend of Business and Fellowship

Albuquerque, NM – August 2008 – Women from all walks of life will converge upon Albuquerque, NM from September 4-7 for the 10th Annual Convention of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. Business meetings, educational and professional seminars, personal development and social activities, and service to the Albuquerque community comprise the weekend event.

This year’s keynote speaker will be Mary Molina Mescall, the Executive Director of the New Mexico Commission on the Status of Women. Her remarks to a diverse audience of sorority women will center on empowering women and navigating life transitions. Convention-goers will also observe presentations by five organizations with hopes of becoming the sorority’s new national philanthropy and gaining access to dedicated funding and hundreds of volunteers. Those organizations represented include Girls Action Network, Girls for a Change, National Association for Multicultural Education, National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Women for Women International.

Ice cream lovers in the Albuquerque area are invited to percentage night at Coldstone Creamery on Thursday, September 4th from 6-9 PM. A portion of the proceeds go toward the Comadre A Comadre, a program hosted through the University of New Mexico’s College of Education and committed to empowering the lives of Hispanic/Latina women and their loved ones through advocacy, education, information, resources, and support about breast health and breast cancer.

Members of the community are also invited to attend the 2nd Annual Multicultural Showcase, “Enchanted ONEderland,” in the ballroom at the University of New Mexico on Friday, September 5th. Doors open at 7:30pm and admission is free.
