DESCRIPTION:Roseville, CA - The Hispanic Empowerment Association of Roseville (HEAR) 
 will sponsor the 9th Annual Cesar E. Chavez Youth Leadership Conference and 
 Education Fair for any 6th to 12 graders and their parents. The educational 
 fair will have college recruiters and information designed to empower 
 families to become stronger advocates for their children's education. 
 \n\nThe Conference will take place on Saturday, March 21, 2009 from 8:00 AM 
 to 4:00 PM at Robert C. Cooley Middle School at 9300 Prarie Woods Way in 
 Roseville, CA 95747 about 20 miles east of Sacramento – the State 
 Capitol. \n\n1,000 sixth to twelve graders attended last year and 500 
 parents. The event is free and pre-registration is not required but 
 suggested. Pre-registration is available by downloading conference 
 information at http://www.hear2000.org \n\nThe Conference began nine years

 and kicks off one of many upcoming Cesar Chavez State Holiday Events. Email 
 Rene Aguilera at raguilera [at] surewest.net or reach him on his cell at

 Farm Workers, leading the union from the 1960s to his death at age 66 in 
 1993 and organized farm workers in several states. In 2000, Governor Gray 
 Davis signed SB 984, asking that school districts give an hour of 
 instruction in all schools around Chavez's March 31 Birthday about the UFW 
 founder's lessons on non-violence, self-sacrifice and social justice. Then, 
 in the afternoon, students are to engage in some form of public service 
 appropriate for their age and grade called the Cesar Chavez Day of Service 
 of Learning. \n\n“The Cesar E. Chavez Youth Leadership Conference 
 supplements what most school districts do on or around March 31 – his 
 birthday and acts as a primer for learning”, said, Aguilera, also the 
 conference coordinator, “We ask parents, students, educators and business 
 and community leaders to come out and volunteer their time to teach and 
 learn from each other on both days.” \n\nWorkshops for parents, students, 
 educators and business and community leaders will include a seminar on 
 student financial aid and scholarships and career information workshops 
 including law, journalism, military, teaching, social welfare, art, music 
 and dance, medicine, law enforcement and pro athletes. \n\nThe Conference 
 will feature several notable speakers and presenters from the Sacramento 
 area education community and national organizations such as the Sacramento 
 Central Labor Council, California Teacher's Association, Classified School 
 Employees Assoication, The College Board, Community Colleges, State 
 Universities and University of California Schools, Sacramento Hispanic
