May was a month of much activity for us in Conexión. On 19 May, we had the honor to host artist Trent Dion Soto, who also is the director of the award winning documentary “Among the Discarded”. His visit to our area was a huge success and the screening of his movie at the FWB City Auditorium was very well received. We thank everyone that showed up and especially Ted Corcoran, the CEO of the Greater FWB Chamber of Commerce for everything that he did to ensure that the visit by Trent would become a reality.
Also, on 30 May, we were organizers, along with other partners, of the International Festival On the Coast! It was very successful with representatives from many nations. See the article and pictures in our History and Culture section.
We congratulate all the High School graduates and we also wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there and especially mine. My dad has always been a hardworking man, always ready and willing to help everyone and I thank him from the bottom of my heart for all that he has done for me and our family. I pray that God will continue blessing him and taking care of him and that he grant him many more years.
Conexion continues to forge ahead with our efforts to be the best and largest distribution area Spanish & English newspaper. We will continue supporting projects taking place in our area that aim to “unite communities” via cultural and educational events.
