Conexión Media Group (CMG) has a mission in our region to lead, support or partner with different organizations that aim to unite people, to keep history, art, and culture alive!  This past May 18 in Tallahassee, we were honored to host the Welcome Reception for OST100 and thank Deborah Desilets and Charlotte Kahl for giving us that opportunity.

I extend an additional thanks to Erika Rojas, our representative in Tallahassee, to Ben Gunter and his TWAM actors, and to Dr. Maria Pouncey and the staff and kids from PAEC for always being willing to take part in such events with us.

Thanks also to Reid Soria and his parents Rick and Jo for the always enjoyable and classy presentations Reid makes!  It was indeed a wonderful event as described in the related article by Deborah Desilets that we publish in this edition.

This month, CMG is proud to be a media sponsor of the great 10th Annual Latin Salsa Festival organized by Jose Garcia of the NW Boricuas Ausentes.  Our admiration and respect to Jose and his group for putting together such a great event and keeping UNITY flowing via their Festival!

In closing, we invite everyone to join us at El Paso Mexican Restaurant in Pensacola on June 21st, as we host a Hispanics and Friends LINKed Networking Social.  See the related ad in this edition.

In this black and white photo, a pregnant person with long hair sits gracefully on a bed. Gently touching their belly, possibly pondering gestational diabetes, they wear minimal clothing and a watch. One arm rests over their chest in the softly lit room.
