Washington, DC (April 29, 2012).  DANR Youth President Maria Moreno and her team of sophisticated national young leaders hosted an innovative Networking Fundraiser Reception on Saturday, April 28, 2012 at 5pm at trendy lounge popularly known as APARTMENT 78 located on 4447 Broadway New York, NY 10040.

“Participating in the DANR National Youth Fellowship Program was an excellent opportunity where I was able to receive training in Washington DC, engage in thought-provoking conversations with leaders in fields and meet other like-minded Dominican college students,” said DANR Fellowship alumna Dahiana Tejada.  “It is important that we continue supporting this program and provide the funds to make it possible for another group of young fellows. I’m grateful for everyone who came out to our fundraiser.”

DANR President Dr. Maria Teresa Montilla, and board members attended the reception.

“This program is a forum for young, talented Dominican-Americans to interact with each other and share their goals, dreams, and ideas,” said Wilson Rosa, one of the DANR fellowship alumni present. “In essence, it is a platform that empowers the young leaders of our community. This event brought together our friends, supporters, and community leaders. We thank them for attending.”

Proceeds will help defray costs for students participating in DANR 2012 National Fellowship Program entitled this year Civic Engagement: Leading the Next Generation Forward.
