A message on behalf on Monica Dixon, Director of Diversity & Inclusion


In recognition of "Women's History Month", The Office of Diversity & 
Inclusion at Hershey Entertainment & Resort Company extends an 
invitation to you and guests to attend a special presentation by Alina 
Fernandez, the daughter of Cuban President Fidel Castro on Monday, March 
24, 2008 from 12:00 noon to 1:30 PM in the Aztec Room at the HERSHEY 
LODGE.  

Fernandez will share with us her experience of growing up as the child 
of one of the world's most infamous leaders and the events that 
eventually led her to renounce his reign. Fernandez was a child in the 
years just before and immediately following the revolution of 1959. As 
the revolution's events unfolded, Fernandez came to realize that, 
depending on his mood, Castro treated his illegitimate daughter with one 
of two extreme feelings -- utter adoration or painful neglect. Through 
the years; however, Castro's influence as an authority figure in 
Fernandez' life never diminished. As she grew older, she recognized her 
position as one of Cuba's elite -- but the political practices she 
witnessed under her father's regime and the neglect she experienced 
drove her to renounce that position and, ultimately, her relationship 
with her father.  As a result, Fernandez finally was forced to leave her 
homeland and to seek refuge in the United States.

In 1998 St. Martin's Press published her story, Castro's Daughter: An 
Exile's Memoir of Cuba, and there may soon be a major motion picture 
made on Alina's life.  

We hope that you are able to join us in the celebration of Women's 
History Month.  The extraordinary story of Fernandez's experiences 
growing up under the shadow of Fidel Castro will be one with strength, 
emotion and courage!  If interested in attending, please RSVP to Tamara 
Parker, Diversity Administrative Coordinator at trparker at hersheypa.com 
and/or (717)508-1582, no later than Friday, March 7, 2008.  

Please note:  Lunch will not be provided for this event.
