Dear friends,

You're cordially invited to a cocktail reception hosted by Roots & Wings International on April 7th, 6:30-8:30pm at the Art Museum of the Americas at the Organization of American States, Washington, D.C.

Proceeds will benefit Roots & Wings International's university scholarship and tutoring programs which serve indigenous Guatemalan youth from families that earn less than $2 per day.

Since 2004, we have been able to sponsor over 30 students to attend the best universities in Guatemala, and have provided academic tutoring to over 500 elementary students. We anticipate increasing the number of scholarship recipients to 50 per year by 2010.

Tickets for the reception are $85. Please find more information and RSVP by March 27 at www.rootsandwingsintl.org/rsvp

Thank you very much for your support.
