Michoacan governor visits Napa Valley College, discusses future

The sweet sounds of mariachi music resonated from the cafeteria at Napa Valley College Sunday afternoon in anticipation of a rare visit from the governor of Michoacan, Mexico. Hundreds of Michoacanos gathered at the college to meet Gov. Lazaro Cardenas Batel and display their love and pride for Michoacan.

Batel, who will be replaced by newly elected Gov. Leonel Godoy in early 2008, came to Napa Sunday to meet with his countrymen and show support for the newly formed Federation of Michoacanos of Northern California.
The Federation is comprised of 15 clubs whose members hail from Michoacan and have formed them to give back to their hometowns.”*
