Essay Contest in the Bronx Harry Truman High School
The Hispanic Association for Professional Advancement (HAPA) was first established
in Los Angeles in 1977 by a group of seven Hispanic Xerox employees (our Founding
Fathers), who saw a need for a single unified voice of Hispanic representation
within the Xerox community. Xerox has long recognized HAPA as the Hispanic voice
within Xerox and as an organization of highly skilled professionals working in
partnership with Xerox management. Currently, HAPA is offering a contest to Harry
S Truman High School students.

HAPA CALIFORNIA & HABITAT FOR HUMANITY
California HAPA supported the Habitat for Humanity next Saturday, October 17th
2009 at 1214 S. Sherman Avenue, Monrovia 91016. This event should be fun at the
same time that it helps those less fortunate. For those of you who are interested
in helping out the community on behalf of HAPA and working along side other Xerox
team members from all different functions please confirm with Cynthia Sandoval.

The planned work at this time is
· Installation of the finished electrical in all four units (this will employ
20 people)
The rest of the task list is fluid but will likely include
· Painting of doors (already installed)
· Rough Landscaping (moving top soil)
· Building Fences
· Installation of Cabinets
· Installation of base boards
I will definitely have a fix on the task list by Monday. We have moved a lot
of items to another build site so here is a list of items I always bring to the
site that allows me to keep busy...
· Tool Belt
· Roofing Triangle
· Utility knife
· #2 Phillips Screwdriver
· ¼” Flat Screwdriver
· Hammer (16 oz smooth)
· Tape measure
· Carpenters Pencil
If any one has any paint pans, brushes and rollers it will be helpful. Power
tools like cordless drills & screwdrivers, compound miter saws, and nail/brad
guns may come in handy as well.
