CoCEAL Membership Meeting 

Thursday, June 28th & Friday, June 29th 2018

El Pueblo History Museum

Please join CoCEAL for our membership meeting on Friday, June 29th at El Pueblo History Museum in Pueblo, CO. On Thursday we will be hosting and evening social at 5:30pm at Angelo's Pizza Parlor on the Riverwalk (105 E. Riverwalk Pueblo, CO 81003).

Presentations will highlight the "Borderlands of Southern Colorado" exhibit at the museum. A focal piece of the exhibit will be the temporary display of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo, the 1848 treaty that ended the Mexican-American War, a conflict that started as a border dispute. The treaty moved the political border between United States and Mexico from the Arkansas River to the Rio Grande, but it could not shift the linguistic, ethnic, and geological borders that were already taking shape. In shifting this border, the Treaty impacted the lives of families who still consider southern Colorado home. This will be the first time the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo has been on exhibit in Colorado. Please join us for this unique opportunity that highlights our history in important and critical ways. 

Additionally we will be announcing our CoCEAL 2018-2019 officers. Nominate someone through May 15th.
