Exhibit 1/Revised Project Description
Organization: UNIDAD of Miami Beach. Inc
Project Title: Nuestra Herencia Hispana
Cultural Arts Series.
The orieinal Proposal:
The center will hold monthly literary activities that culminate in the celebration of Hispanic Heritage
Month Festivities, The month long celebration include Music, Dance, Art and Craft exhibitions, literary
events and other didactical activities that cater to all age group and Hispanics,
During our next calendar program year, we are focusing on the literary events. The literary events have
proved to be the best received of our programmed activities. Each month we will be presenting a
workshop featuring a Hispanic writer. The writer will be selected based on current events in the local
and international Hispanic community. Subjects will range from journalism to nutrition and from
education to environmental issues.
The workshop consists of90 minutes of presentation broken down into three phases: writer's
background and literary inception, literary expression, and a questions and answer session.
Literature is important because it fosters education, broadens horizons and brings people together,
allowing the Hispanic community to bridge gaps with the at large community.
The literary events will be held at the Coral Rock House, 170 I Normandy Drive, Miami Beach, FL
33141. The events will take place the second Thursday of each month in the main multi purpose room
from 6-9 pm
Proposed Revisions:
The funding for this program was not awarded at the level requested. We plan to scale down our
activities to only 5 literary presentations that will be programmed as follow:
Spring "Nuestra Herencia Hispana Literary Series":
March, April and May 2004
Fall" Nuestra Herencia Hispana Literary Series" together with activities celebrating
Hispanic Heritage Month,
The continuance of literary presentations in September 2004 followed by Hispanic Heritage
painting exhibits, readings for children and youth essay competition,
