Hola ,
Incoming are this week's events, job openings, resources, and opportunities.
Pero first, another quick reminder about Hispanic Heritage Month.
We are well into the third week of Hispanic Heritage Month! Last night we celebrated what makes us proud to be Latino and today we sit down with 3 talented Cuban athletes who leave their families and homes behind as they set off in pursuit of the ultimate dream: a contract with Major League Baseball.
Join us for The Last Out interview at 6PM EST.
Also, we are hosting a raffle to help Hurricane victims in Puerto Rico. The prize is a one-of-a-kind portrait by award-winning artist, Suzie Cortez.
