Boricuas - in TEXAS

Asociación Boricua de Dallas, Inc. was officially founded as a non-profit organization by incorporation in the State of Texas in 1985. It's mission is to promote, foster and celebrate the Puerto Rican culture and heritage.

Calling all Sports Fans! Don't miss next weekend, Sunday, Feb. 3rd, 2-4pm when we will present "Roberto Clemente - The Great One" with SURPRISE GUEST Zulma Clementi!

Roberto Clemente was the first Latin American player elected to the baseball Hall of Fame, and was regarded by many as the finest all-around player of his era. In 1972, the Latino community lost one of the most widely idolized figures in sports history when Clemente died in a plane crash while on his way to Nicaragua to help in relief operations following a severe earthquake.

On February 3rd, 2008 (2-4pm), Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance will offer a workshop on the life of Roberto Clemente as part of our 2008 Workshop in Puerto Rican Studies Series. Edwin Baez, our workshop host will be presenting his lifetime collection of Clemente memorabilia. SURPRISE GUEST Zulma Clementi will be sharing personal memories about her Tio (uncle). Edwin will also bring a kit to teach children how to collect and price baseball cards. This event will be FREE and open to the public.

The Puerto Rican Folkloric Dance & Cultural Center is an all-volunteer run nonprofit 501C3 dedicated to sharing all of Puerto Rico's cultural traditions with our community, and handing down our beautiful heritage to the next generation.
