"Hialeah-Peru Relief Effort A Winner"
The relief effort for Peru held at Hialeah’s Milander Park on August 19th, was a great success. Hialeahtodo.com and Ingenicard, US would like to thank the entire community for their support and tremendous generosity. Once again Hialeah was asked to lend a helping hand to those in need and like so many times in the past, it came through with flying colors.
The constant flow of vehicles bringing the needed resources started early in the morning and did not stop all day long. “It seems that we have done this so many times that our citizens know exactly what is needed” said President of Hialeahtodo.com, Felix Chinea. Clothing, water, can goods, medicine and pampers never stopped coming. When it was all said and done three eighteen wheelers donated by FedEx were full to the top.
It was supposed to be a party and it became a relief effort. Milander Auditorium was decorated with large banners created for the huge celebration that never happened. Instead, the party promoters became the main volunteers and the coordinators of the relief effort.
Important community figures such as Councilman Jose “Pepe” Yedra, Hialeah Chief of Police Rolando Bolaňos, members of The Hialeah Chamber of Commerce, President of Ingenicard Juan Valmaňa, President of Hialeahtodo.com Felix Chinea, Vice -President of Hialeahtodo.com Alex Martinez, Benny Hevia of Omega Retirement and many others represented our community by volunteering and providing a helping hand.
For donations visit: http://www.ingenicard-peru.com/.
Thank you Hialeah for your generosity and making us all proud to be part of this giving community.

Hialeah Elementary Kids Receive Back To School Gift.
Students from several schools around Miami-Dade County, including kids from Hialeah Elementary School received $50.00 each from Wal-Mart and The Lions Club to purchase back to school supplies.
The Wal-Mart on northwest 57th Avenue, North of the Palmetto Expressway was filled with happy faces, early Saturday morning, August 11, 2007. A total of one hundred and fifty students previously selected to receive the $50.00 back to school shopping spree from nearby schools, were there as early as 7:30 a.m.
Each kid was accompanied by a Lions Club volunteer who led them to the school supplies
area, to choose items for the new school year. The kids were really into it. Many used calculators to stretch the money as much as possible and were careful in taking their time selecting the items to place in the shopping cart.
Many important members of our community attended the event. Including members
of the Hialeah-Miami Lakes Kiwanis Club, members of Child Hope, Inc. and the
President of Hialeahtodo.com, Felix Chinea.
We congratulate the Lions Club and Wal-Mart for putting together this beautiful event. One only needed to see the faces of the kids and parents, to realize that this would be a memorable event. A parent mentioned the $50.00 was a blessing for the needed supplies. The importance of caring for the students shown by Wal-Mart, Lions Club and the volunteers, assembled there planted a seed in the minds of the children that will bring great rewards to our community for years to come.
