Program - Gustavo Montoya - El Mundo

Gustavo Montoya, owner of El Mundo, discussed his perspective of the progress our community is making in connecting with Hispanics in our area.  The El Mundo (Spanish newspaper) has been around for 28 years, and has a readership of 150,000.  They have 900 distribution points statewide.  A major push has been citizenship, as our area has around 2000 people eligible for citizenship each year.  Gustavo talked about how we are connecting the dots - community, Hispanic Chamber, South Wenatchee, Our Valley What's Next, new parks, etc.  He also answered a few questions, including how service clubs might better attract Hispanic business and professional people.
