Árbol de Esperanza has been positively impacting the lives of women in the greater San Ramón area for the past 10 years and on Friday, September 22, they are holding a special 10-Year Anniversary event to acknowledge and celebrate this important work.
The event will take place at the San Ramón Regional Museum on the north side of the park from 9am to 5pm. Árbol’s past and current program participants, the general public, and CAA members and friends are all cordially invited to participate. The day will be filled with a variety of informational presentations and recreational activities. While CAA members and friends are welcome to attend and enjoy all of the day’s activities, perhaps of most interest would be the two morning sessions.

From 10–11am, the Árbol management team will share the history of the organization; the goals, fundamentals, and successes of their Empowerment program; and a CAA board member will discuss the benefits of the collaboration between the two organizations. From 11am–12 noon, women who have participated in Árbol’s Empowerment program will share testimonies of their journey. In the afternoon, there will be cultural storytelling (2–3 pm) and a Latin dance class (3–4pm), and a fashion show of participant-made creations (4–5pm). Throughout the whole day, women who have started businesses as a result of Árbol’s Empowerment program will be there marketing their products—food items, clothing, jewelry, beauty services, etc. What a great opportunity to learn more about this important organization, celebrate the good work they are doing, and have fun—all at the same time!
Attendance at the celebration is free, but Árbol requests that you RSVP by sending your name and your organizational affiliation to them via WhatsApp, 8788 7921, or via email at [email protected]. If you have questions about the event, feel free to contact Mary Lou Hofmann, CAA Board Liaison to Árbol at [email protected].
