    New 2011-2012 Officials!

    CIT - August 21, 2011 A new president has taken the reigns of club latino, following the long line of awesome people including Debrah Meloso, Angel Ruiz Angulo, Gustavo Joseph, Anna Salazar, Carlos Romero, Jose Mendoza-Cortez, etc. Her name is Marcella Gomez, and she has hit the ground running!

    From Latino lunches, to a bran new festival of arts and food, we look forward to everything that is to come in the year ahead!

    Notice the VACANCIES!!!
    We want YOU!

    We need volunteers to run the coffee club (send lame e-mails to the list whenever you feel like having half-priced coffee), and a newly created position of club archivist. The main mission of the archivist would be to transform the knowledge currently stored in Anna Salazars brain format into some digital format like excel or word.

    NOW AVAILABLE!

    Caltech's Club Latino is Google Number 1 Search Result
    Pasadena (January, 2006) Caltech's Club Latino's web page has reconquered the number one spot as a search result on Google for "club latino". For the last trimester of 2005, the UK's web magazine "View London" review of "Upstairs at Ronnies" latin club had captured the number one spot, mostly for its countless links to random London night scene info pages.

    For the two years prior, our Club Latino had the top result, except for sporadic intermissions when a german Latin Club in Postdam was posting pictures and movies of parties they were hosting, which earned them the number one spot.

    Content such as our popular Semana Latina, and Semana Latina Art Exhibits (Espiritu and Dimensiones), as well as mutual hyper-linking to friends such as Caltech Salsa Club, and Tango Club (Argentine Tango Club, not to be confused with the less popular Chechnean Tango Club ; ) ), have earned us the number one spot again. "There is no gurantee we will keep the top result for long", Club Latino's webmaster told us, "but we will do our best to keep the content fresh and clean" he assured us.

    2008 UPDATE: as of mid 2006, we are still "numero uno"!
    2010 UPDATE: as of mid 2010, still number one baby!
    2012 UPDATE: we are sad to anounce that google got too smart for us. The searches are location dependent, so if you search in socal, we are still number one (woo hoo!); but if you search in amsterdam... well good luck to you my friends!
