Try Something New invites O.L.A. participants to explore something different, such as an event, activity, or place they haven't experienced before. It's about stepping outside your comfort zone, meeting new people, and seeing things from a fresh perspective.

Dhairyasheel Gaikwad and Jim Fineran chose to attend Día de los Mu***os celebration organized by LULAC.

"The celebration beautifully reflected the belief in welcoming the spirits of the departed back to be remembered and celebrated with joy rather than sorrow. Experiencing this tradition firsthand helped deepen my appreciation for the cultural values, customs, and symbolism associated with Día de los Mu***os." stated
Dhairyasheel.

"The night was a moving celebration, as friends and family gathered to honor those who have passed from earthly life into eternal spirit," Jim added.
