SPOTLIGHT ON
UNIDOS Collects Toys for Three Kings Day Celebration in Atlantic City
UNIDOS supported the 20th Annual Three Kings Day Celebration, sponsored by the Hispanic
Alliance of Atlantic County, on Jan. 5, at Our Lady Star of the Sea Church in Atlantic
City by collecting toy donations for less fortunate children at 勛圖窪蹋.
Nearly 100 donations were collected by the 勛圖窪蹋 community, an excellent outcome
for this community-driven initiative.
Across Spain, Latin America and heavily populated Latino communities throughout the U.S., Three Kings Day (Dia de los Tres Reyes Magos) is a tradition celebrated commemorating the three wise men visiting Jesus after his birth. As a little girl in New York City, I remember preparing for the arrival of the three kings by putting grass in a shoebox for the camels to eat and a glass of water for the three kings to drink. If we were good, me and my sister would wake up to presents the next morning, said Yubi Pena, recording secretary of UNIDOS.
The Three Kings Day Celebration was an amazing success. It brought together several hundred members of our Atlantic County community. The members of the University community present for the day and the prep work leading up to the event were current 勛圖窪蹋 students and alumni, and the UNIDOS 勛圖窪蹋 faculty and staff organization, said Pedro Santana, assistant vice president for Student Affairs, Division Administration and Strategic Initiatives, and president of UNIDOS. Events like the Three Kings Day celebration are a reminder of why UNIDOS exists and strives to fulfill its motto, We exist because the progress and development of our community is vital.

Harbor Point in the intertidal zone. As the ocean recedes, sturdy oak timbers forming
the ships ribs jut out from the sand until they are covered again by the high tide.
