Who
is PRUMA? Puerto Rican Union of Mutual Aid, Inc. was organized in May 1937 and incorporated July 7, 1937. Our motto is to
"Advance with Progress". The Association was founded by a group of Puerto Ricans who came from Hawaii to the East
Bay and wanted to create a benevolent organization to further their people. The purpose for the Association is to help other
Puerto Ricans in the San Francisco Bay Area. We bring the Puerto Rican community together keeping the culture alive through
our Jibaro music and Puerto Rican food. We hold regular dances and raise funds for educational scholarships and other community
benefits. We are proud to have Dolores Mendez as our current President. Contact: Dolores Mendez 510-489-0513 or at president@pruma.org

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Thank
you… I would like to thank the members who took the time to attend and vote at our December meeting.
I would also like to thank all of the volunteers who gave so freely of their time by coming in early to the hall to set up
the voting process and pass out ballots to the members. And the kitchen workers and volunteers who stayed to clean up after
the meeting. Having volunteers is what it’s all about, everyone working together. We do have some great volunteers thank
you so very much for all you help. Please don’t forget our Valentine’s dance, we need to make
this dance another success. Hope to see everyone at the February General meeting, please be on time. God Bless all of you, and again Thank You. DoloresMendez
