FW: Somos Primos October 2014

Do check out our website www.thelegaspi.com and the various malls we own
and or manage in the US. They all celebrate Hispanics year round.

La Gran Plaza de Fort Worth; Plaza Fiesta de Atlanta; Desert Sky Mall in
Phoenix, Panorama Mall Los Angeles, Pacific View in Ventura; Plaza Mayor in
Oklahoma City. We hold Fiestas Patrias and events such as Dia de la Virgen
de Guadalupe.

*Very sincerely yours,*

*José de Jesús Legaspi*
