About Us
Our Logo
The beautiful flamboyan tree is found throughout the island of Puerto Rico. As the colorful and abundant branches of the flamboyan are spreadout in magestic beauty, so are the Puerto Rican people, sharing the beauty, richness and colorful culture of Puerto Rico. Like Its roots are planted frimly in Puerto Rican soil so are our traditions and customs. The Puerto Rican flags are displayed in sign of pride. The red, white and blue in the letters are the colors of both the United States and Puerto Rico flags. The circle symbolizes Puerto Ricans around the world.
