I will probably go to my local Mexican cantina and whoop it up with my Mexican brothers and sisters, eat carne asada and drink Corona. It is a FIESTA!, anything but focus on the recent immigration debate, that can be done on another day.

Try getting masks like they wear, beads, and bright colors.\n\nMardi Gras is one big celebration of color and happiness, keep that in mind.

"Cinco de mayo commemorates General Ignacio Zaragoza's victory on May 5, 1862, over the French expeditionary forces in the Battle of Puebla."  \n\nIn California among the Mexican communities I hava heard It considered a Mexican Independence day. However I think there real Independence day is Sept. 16.\n\n " September 16, 1810, in the village of Dolores, near Guanajuato. Hidalgo called for the end of Spanish rule in Mexico. On September 16, 1825, the Republic of Mexico officially declared Diez y séis de septiembre its national Independence Day. "

I would get pictures of families having fun, that relate to the activities planned for the fun fair, and use them in each slide.  Fun music in the background would be fun too.  Also, if you have pictures of your co-workers doing silly stuff, a little comic relief is good too.  Slip in a few comics from dilburt might be a nice touch.

Do you mean cinco de mayo?  It's when the Mexican army defeated the French at la Batalla de Puebla in 1862.

do a "key to communication" and hang gold colored paper keys with communication tips and the info you want them to know, this way you can grab their attention and pass the info to them.\n\nor you can have a key to communication presentaion on an evening and invite all to come.

I think a great "congratulatory gift" if you can swing it..would be to show up at their restaurant with a group of 20 people (reservations of course) in tow..all hungry and thirsty!\n\nor... a reservation for your companies Holiday party!\n\nor... show up once a week with a different group of friends who have not been there yet. \n\nor.... if you are looking for something more.."gifty" what about an ad in the paper congratulating them on achieving their dream? \n\nor a shadow box with mounting and an engraved plate the date for their first dollar bill to be displayed in? (mr. krabs would love that!\n\ngood luck to your friends!

Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day. I have no idea why people think it is. It is a celebration commemorating the defeat of the French in the Battle of Puebla. (By the way, the real Mexican Independence Day is September 16.)

A lot of times, just the little things can make a difference between "ok" and "memorable".\nhmmm, party ideas:\n• come up with 2 or 3 colors to set your party mood. This year, we are going with a yellow-green, bright pink, and  a deep cranberry red for a real 50's retro Christmas look.\n• Serving punch or eggnog? Dip the edge of glasses in water or apple juice, then rim the glasses with plain or colored sugar for a pretty sparkle effect. \n• Use napkin rings in your chosen colors. \n• How about renting an arch for people to stand under for picture taking? You can decorate it with balloons in Christmas colors, tufts of iridescent garland, and maybe some mistletoe or pine boughs at the top. Stand it in front of a plain curtain for a solid background.\n• Come up with cute take home party favors so guest will remember the night even more. Cheap plastic ornaments with the group name and year written in silver or gold marker are always nice. \n• Get a guest book to sign at the entrance to make the party feel more special.\nHope these help, and have a wonderful time!

I'm in Spanish 4 and I can tell you that I love the language even more than English. French is great (but I like Spanish better) and German (in my opinion) doesn't sound very pretty. So, I'd pick Spanish.\n\nSpanish speakers celebrate cinco de Mayo (May 5th), which is their independence day. They also celebrate el Dia de los Muertos (The day of the dead). It's almost like American Halloween, but it's even bigger and better. It's a day to honor the dead. As far as the food, Spanish countries have a lot of spicy things. I'm sure you know they have tacos, nachos, burritos, and things like that.\n\nInstead, they celebrate Oktorberfest in Germany. In France, you could do something on the Eiffel Tower.\n\nGood luck!

Actually a lot of people don't know what cinco de mayo is, in Mexico they celebrate the anniversary of the battle of puebla, when general Ignacio Zaragoza, kick the but of Americans and Frenchman’s that where trying to invade Mexico, but they loose against the poor armed Mexicans, but anyways long story make short, there is not any specific traditional music that you could play in your party, if you want to you can play some mariachi music that’s never fail. If you got some tortillas and guacamole on your party, and plenty of coronas then when you star to feeling buzz believe me you will be able to understand Spanish “lol” have fun…

Your announcement needs to be more than just noise over the PA system.  Usually people ignore announcements unless they hear something that they want to hear.\n\nWhat is the point of your group?  What are you going to do and why?  Why should people come? Is it about language? history? culture?  What are some ways to introduce that to your peers?\n\nGive each meeting a specific theme and then cater your announcements to that theme:\n\nYou might begin the announcement by speaking in German and then inviting people to learn about specific German customs, share thoughts about traditions, history, etc. \n\nMention that each week during the month you are going to talk about, and sample if possible, traditional food and drink from the different countries.  Invite people to bring along their favorite dish and recipe.\n\nTalk about government and monarchies, the histories of war and conflict amongst the European countries... and then have a RISK tournament, only amongst European nations.\n\nBasically, you need to make it appeal to the kind of people you want to attract to the meeting.  Nobody wants just another class.\n\nCheers.

Do an oral presentation on the Holidays and Honorifics of Islam. Bring in visuals (pictures), real things to represent the holidays and find some important facts to present to your class. You can't go wrong. Good luck :)
