🌼 Honoring Our Loved Ones and Celebrating Our Traditions 🌼

Today is a special day for many families in our Hispanic community. In some countries, November 1 is celebrated as All Saints’ Day, while in Mexico, it marks the beginning of Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), a beautiful tradition of remembering and honoring loved ones who have passed away.

At the Literacy Council of Green County, we believe cultural literacy brings people together by helping us understand and appreciate one another’s traditions.

❤️ A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful learners and our community partner, Dando Una Mano – Together We Rise, for helping create our beautiful altar year after year and keeping these meaningful traditions alive.

We are also grateful to the Monroe Public Library for welcoming our altar and providing a space where we can share this special tradition with the entire community.

By sharing our cultures and stories, we build a stronger, more welcoming community.

🌼 Remembering those we love. Honoring our roots. Celebrating our cultures.

As we get closer to November, the month of gratitude, I find myself thinking about the people who have made such a difference in my life.

Some of the most meaningful reminders arrive in the simplest forms: a handwritten card, a few heartfelt words, and a message that stays with you for years. Six years ago, one of our learners gave me this beautiful card, and I still treasure it.

Translation:
(Karin,
When I met you, everything around me seemed to be falling into darkness. You've helped me in so many ways, but most importantly, you've taught me how to love myself.
I'm truly grateful, from the bottom of my heart, for your friendship, support, and guidance.
Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me to keep following my dreams.
Love you so much, Karin. ❤)

Our learners often thank me for helping and encouraging them, but they may not realize how deeply they inspire me in return. Their strength, courage, and determination motivate me to pursue my dreams, support our community, and continue growing.

This card reminds me that the Literacy Council is more than a place to learn, it’s a community where friendships grow, every voice matters, and we encourage one another.

I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met along this journey. They remind me every day why I love what I do.♥️

What a special evening! 💙

A heartfelt thank you to all of our Council members, friends, volunteers, and supporters who joined us for our Summer Celebration and 30th Anniversary! Your presence made this milestone truly meaningful.

Despite the weather challenges and having to change our venue at the very last minute, everyone was so flexible, understanding, and willing to go with the flow. We are incredibly grateful for your patience and for helping us make the evening a success!

We were honored to present the 2025 Spirit Award to Jim and Mary Finley in memory of their many contributions and support. Their daughter, Pam Finley Hahn, accepted the award on their behalf. We also recognized Chalet Landhaus Inn with a Spirit Award, even though they were unable to attend the celebration.

The Legacy Award was presented to Ellen Hossman in appreciation of her dedication and lasting impact on our Council and the community.

Another very special moment was receiving a Certificate of Recognition from Wisconsin Literacy celebrating our 30 years of empowering adult learners with the English language—one word at a time. What an incredible milestone and a reminder of why this work matters so much.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey over the past 30 years. Whether you have volunteered, taught, learned, supported, donated, or simply cheered us on, you have helped make this work possible.

Here’s to 30 years of community, connection, and empowering adult learners—one word at a time! 🎉💙

Soy una madre latina, emprendedora y servidora comunitaria comprometida con el crecimiento y bienestar de nuestra comunidad en Green County. A través de mi experiencia como fundadora de Fuerza Hispana of Green County, participante de Green County Leaders y dueña de un negocio comunitario bilingüe, he tenido la oportunidad de acompañar a pequeños emprendedores en sus primeros pasos, ayudándolos a creer en sus ideas y convertirlas en oportunidades reales.

Hoy, como Bilingual Small Business Consultant, mi propósito es seguir sirviendo de una manera cercana, sencilla y humana. Ofrezco orientación gratuita en creación de planes de negocio, registro de LLC, obtención de EIN, seguimiento en aplicaciones para préstamos y conexión con recursos adecuados según las necesidades de cada negocio.

Creo firmemente que cuando compartimos información, apoyo y oportunidades, ayudamos a crecer no solo negocios… sino familias y comunidades enteras.

También los invito a seguir la página de Fuerza Hispana of Green County, un espacio enfocado en el desarrollo educativo, el crecimiento económico y la conexión de recursos para nuestra comunidad hispana y todos aquellos que desean emprender y salir adelante juntos.
