Joined by a crowd of close to 900, the

Saturday, October 25, 2008.
The event, designed to recognize the
contributions and successes of Latinos across the state, has
become the largest annual gathering of its kind in Connecticut.
This year, the LPRAC honored, Dr. Francisco
Donis and Dr. Agnes Quiñones as its Latino and Latina Citizens
of the year and awarded scholarships to the following
exceptional students:
- Erika Alvarez
- Marie Louise Biondi
- Ashley Nicole Caceres
- Hillary Dueñas
- Joshua Ali Calderón
- Diego Lugo
The LPRAC also awarded the Greater
Bridgeport Latino Network its 2008 Community Service Award for
their dedication to fostering Latino involvement and success.
The Commission would like to express its
deepest gratitude to the sponsors who made the event possible
with a special nod to the
title, platinum, gold and silver level sponsors.
