We are deeply saddened by loss of one of our long-time members, María Luisa Vargas. Due to these circumstances, we have canceled the meeting originally scheduled for May 18th. Services will be held the same day; anyone who would like to attend, please see the announcement with details below. Please keep María Luisa and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
Upcoming Virtual Book Club Meetings
The House of Puerto Rico San Diego is holding its monthly virtual book club meetings! See the memos below for info and how to RVSP to receive a ZOOM invitation.
"Our upcoming book selections are all about familia. There's a lot written about mothers and fathers (and Mother's Day and Father's Day are coming up), but our next two book club meetings will focus on members of the family that don't get talked about enough-siblings and cousins.
In honor of National Brother's Day, we will be reading:
May 20 at 7:00pm – Brother, Sister, Mother, Explorer: A Novel by Jamie Figueroa
After their mother's passing, Rufina and Rafa, spend a final weekend together in their childhood home. As they reckon with generational and ancestral trauma, set against the indignities of present-day prejudice, other strange hauntings begin while a genderless, flea-bitten angel watches over the sibling and remains hell-bent on saving what can be saved.
* Shortlisted for the Reading the West Book Award
In honor of National Cousin's Day, we will be reading:
June 17 at 7:00pm – Carmen and Grace by Melissa Coss Aquino
An emotionally riveting coming-of-age drama about two cousins lured into the underground drug trade at a young age and the inextricable ties that bind them, as one woman seeks power and the other seeks a way out
