Congratulations to the following Comadres on their accomplishments!

Dr. Charley Ferrer (FL) – won not one, not two, but three awards from the Veterans Administration Creative Arts Festival. First award was for photography; second award was for her play, Breast Cancer Diaries, which won a Regional Creative Writing award; and the third was for a video production of a scene from her play.

 

Mira Ginsburg (TX) – designed and built her home in Austin, Casa Mauro.  It’s been an ongoing project for the past six years.  It was a vacant lot and looked like a jungle sitting on a slow rolling hill.  They finally received their Certificate of Occupancy and moved in as of June 2019. During final phase of construction, Mira cared for her husband during his battle with cancer and then her brother. Luckily, her men are both cancer free now – a MAJOR accomplishment, Praise God.  She would love to host the Austin Comadres in the new year.  AND she is proud to say that her son just graduated from University of Texas!
