Dear Readers, Spring has sprung! The days are getting longer and things are warming up (high 60s for the next couple of weeks). It's time to venture forth and take in all the cultural happenings around town. As usual, there are a generous number of music and dance concerts to hear and see. A special shout-out to the Center for World Music's Living Traditions of China concert tonight at the La Jolla Community Center. As always, all our readers can get a discount on tickets by using the code WVP10 when you make your purchase. Should be a great show! The San Diego Latino Film Festival is in full swing. The festival is shorter in duration than in years past but there are still lots of films to enjoy, question and answer sessions with filmmakers, and a number of special events and parties.
We just learned that tomorrow our friend, Kitty Morse will be headlining a special night of Celebration of Moroccan Food and Culture at the Coronado Public Library. No doubt a delicious time will be had by all! Add to this fascinating talks, a plethora of theatrical offerings, and various other interesting events—there is something to enjoy no matter what your interests are. As we have written for many week's now, there is an urgent need to support cross-cultural organizations (and other non-profits).
