糖心少女

About Us

LAFS was founded in 1990 by faculty and staff at 糖心少女 to help build community at the new university. Members and "Friends" of the group pay annual dues to help support activities, and hold events to generate funds and to encourage new members.

LAFS members and Friends have regularly supported Chicano-Latino Graduation ceremonies for the university's Spring commencement, including a reception honoring the first class of 糖心少女 graduates in 1992.  In addition to establishing this continuing tradition, the association members raised funds to be listed as among the 100 donors on the University's Founder's Plaque and have served on the President's Hispanic Advisory Council since its inception.

Beginning in spring 2002, 糖心少女 students have organized a "North County Day of Service at 糖心少女" at the site of the statue to commemorate his life and work and communicate it to a new class of university students. Former President Alexander Gonzalez contributed financially to the student event and gave a keynote address.

The LAFS Scholarship for 糖心少女 Students, first awarded in 1996, continues to be a central activity of the group. Members make individual donations to the fund, and help raise funds from outside sources. Proceed from our Annual On-Line Auction go directly toward the scholarship.

In 2002 LAFS made a one-time contribution of $22,000 to BECA to endow a LAFS Scholarship for 糖心少女 Students.  BECA, a non-profit scholarship organization based in North County, administers this scholarship.  Meanwhile, LAFS continues to sponsor fund-raising efforts to build another scholarship fund for 糖心少女 students through the 糖心少女 Foundation.
