FAQs:

โ“Is this event the annual LCA holiday fiesta?

Yes! This is our annual holiday gathering. The event is a little bit more casual this year, due to rising venue costs. But there will still be dancing and appetizers courtesy of the LCA and Old Mexico!

โ“What is the Cecilia Montaner-Vargas Award?

The Cecilia Montanar-Vargas Award is an academic memorial scholarship organized by the LCA, and is awarded each spring to 1-3 Latine graduating high school seniors or non-traditional students in Tompkins County. The award emphasizes academic commitment, as well as service to the community.

โ“Will there be dinner?

No, there will not be dinner served. There will be limited appetizers, so arrive on time!

โ“Will there be a bar?

Yes! Old Mexico has a bar. Bring cash or card and tip your bartenders!

โ“What is the dress code?

Many people like to dress up, but there is no required dress code. This event will be more casual than in past years. If you feel like wearing something fancy or festive, please do so. More importantly, we just care that you join us!

โ“Is there parking?

Yes! Old Mexico has a large parking lot, and there is a side door from the parking lot that will lead straight to the event room.

Save the Date: Community Memorial for Dr. Debra Castillo Nov. 2, 2025
On Sunday, October 5, our community suffered a great loss with the passing of Dr. Debra A. Castillo โ€“ mother, sister, aunt, professor, mentor, amiga, and champion to so many of us. We invite you to join us at the Celebration of Life for Debbie, which will be held on Sunday, November 2 from 1:30pm to 4:30pm at the Community School of Music & Arts (CSMA) on the 3rd Floor, 330 E. State St., Ithaca, NY.
Debbie was a brilliant weaver who brought all of our stories and lives together. Let us come together en familia to honor and remember our very dear Debra Castillo.
This memorial will echo the many community-based arts-oriented events that Debbie shared in Ithaca, at Cornell, and throughout the globe. A celebration of her life and love, this event will feature music, food, poetry and a space for friends and loved ones to share memories of Debbie.
