The Mario G. Olmos Scholarship Banquet
Our local chapter of the California La Raza Lawyers Association, www.larazalawyers.net, is known as the Central Valley Chapter. In 2009 we celebrated the 30th anniversary of our local LRLA Chapter. In honor of this occasion we invited all the founding members we could locate to attend the banquet. During the Banquet our chapter’s founding President, Commissioner Phillip Silva, provided a short history on how our chapter was founded. Founding members present were acknowledged during Commissioner Silva’s speech and a commemorative picture was taken.
The 2010 Mario G. Olmos Scholarship Banquet was held on Saturday, March 6, 2010 at International Catering, 4227 N. West Street, Fresno, CA.

Mariachi Garibaldi provided the pre-dinner musical entertainment and the night was capped off with a dance with music provided by DJ Oscar Peña.
