Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen Visit to UM

So it's been a while since I've blogged.  Things have been very busy for me lately.  My apologies to all of you dedicated "readers"...  :-)

This past Tuesday, Dana Dombey and her ambitious team from ShalomUM organized an event celebrating the 60 year relationship between the US and Israel.  They invited Congresswomen Ileana Ros-Lehtinen to speak.  I had the wonderful privilege of introducing the Congresswoman to speak about the past US-Israel relations and its future.  
Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is the first Cuban female to be elected into Congress, and as a Cuban myself, I was extremely honored to meet her.  She mentioned how the US-Israel relationship is a bipartisan issue.  Nobody can disagree that helping the Israeli people is the right thing to do.
The turnout for the event was fantastic.  Major kudos to ShalomUM for hosting the event and the other 20+ student organizations who sponsored.
