Commodore Mauricio Quirch asked this year to an enthusiastic Guillermo and Lisette Quirch, Rene Garcia and Luis and Ana Machado, who participated. Members and guests were treated to a special night visiting Far Niente (Quirch), Villa Jacavi (Garcia) and Casa Luna (Machado). The homeowners offered tasty treats themselves and the Club provided a bar, servers and bartenders at each residence, serving the island’s signature drink: the Cat Cay special. Why participate? “I picked to have a home on Cat Cay because of its privacy, proximity, security, friendly staff and it’s family-oriented membership,” said homeowner Luis Machado. “…and this is a great way to meet your neighbors and fellow members,” he continued.

    NATIONAL LATINO MEDIA COUNCIL 55 S. Grand Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91105 • Tel: (626) 792-6462 • Fax: (626) 792-6061 We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of a national movement to change the face of television in this country. In 1999 - 2000, the Multi-Ethnic Media Coalition, a group comprised of the National Latino Media Council (NLMC), the National Asian/Pacific American Media Coalition, the NAACP and the American Indians in Film and Television, persuaded the four major television networks, ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC, to sign unprecedented Memoranda of Understanding. Before these memoranda were signed, we saw much fewer people of color on television than we do today. The Memoranda serve to diversify the networks' workforce both in front and behind the camera and to open up procurement opportunities for people of color. These initiatives have incrementally increased diversity over the past ten years; however, the job is far from complete. In 1999, Greg Braxton, of the Los Angeles Times, wrote that out of the 24 new shows debuting at ABC, NBC CBS, and FOX, there was not one single person of color in a lead or regular role. Ten years later, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) reports the following breakdown of film and TV roles for 2008: 72.5% Caucasian, 13.3% African-American, 6.4% Latino-Hispanic, 3.8% Asian & Pacific Islander, .03% Native American and 3.8% other/unknown. The 9th annual “Report Cards” summarize the progress and/or shortfalls of the networks’ efforts to diversify their workforce and increase minority vendor contracts in calendar year 2009.
