2016-2017 Scholarship Recipient: Natalie Castillo Testimony
I moved to Cincinnati a few years ago when I began my career at Xavier University, and although my home was only 3 ours away, I felt that I was far from my family and Hispanic traditions. I had to say goodbye to my mom's Mexican cooking, our endless nights of dancing, our afternoons of conversation in Spanish and English, and my favorite, Abuelita's hot chocolate. It was wonderful to discover the family that the chamber has offered me since I got a phone call last year informing me that I had received a

Dear mr. Cornejo and chamber volunteers In December, I received the best news in my life so far, I was hired for an internship.

Fiesta Del Pueblo History
“Fiesta del pueblo” or town party has a very long history in the Latino world. Its origin is not quite clear, but it appears to have evolved in Spain, probably in the 11th or 12th century. In some towns it was used to celebrate the work of the key craftsmen of the town; in more rural areas it may have been to celebrate the harvest, much as other cultures celebrate the harvest. It was brought to America by the Spanish, undoubtedly Catholic missionaries, as another aspect of their quest to convert Latin
