Elgin is an ethnically diverse community.Fiesta Salsa attempts to give the community-at-large the opportunity to appreciate and learn mom about its Latino community,which makes up about 40%of Elgin's population. Studies have shown that radial understanding Increase In a context that is non-t neatening such as when one sits downs and enjoys some good food and good entertainment. fn addition to mixing Elgin's racial make-up,another goal is to expose Latinos themselves to the rich diversity that exists among other Latinos in the world. Describe how you plan to evaluate the project to determine if you have met your goals: We will take a general head count to determine if participation has improved at the parade and at the event.We will particularly be looking to ethnic.age and gender diversity present.Also we will keep track of the amount of programs distributed,which will help determine an approximate number of attendees.Lastly,we will have various volunteers throughout the day taking an informal survey regarding basic -� questions Including what they like about Cue Fiesta Salsa and what can be improved. What are your contingency plans for the project if funding assistance is teas than antidpated? We will contact more individuals and corporations for sponsorships as we have done in the past We can also host another fundraising event : such as a carnival,as we did last year_If the financial resources are not present we will begin eliminating elements like,children's stage and will probably end earlier in the evening so that we wouldn't have to pay for performers for a longer period of time. How does this project benefit the citizens of Elgin who participate as audience or artists? This event provides a cultural experience in which the general public becomes aware of the various differences amongst the many Hispanic counties. As ergsls,there is simply no other venue In Elgin,which showcases the wide variety of Hispanic artistry.The audience participates in a very rare event during the day by participating In ElgIn's Largest Salsa Dance Lesson-it's free,fun and always puts a smile on the face of our audience-they walk away with a sense they learned a popular and important part of Latino culture.
