Latino students and their families were the guests of honor April 30, 2009, at a recognition event at Terra Community College.

“Celebration of Hispanic Success – A Tribute to Our Past, Present and Future” aimed at both congratulating and encouraging the students and their families.
 

Sandusky County Treasurer Irma Celestino delivered the keynote address. She told the audience about her 31-year career as the Clerk for the Sandusky County Commissioners, and how she decided to run for public office. Celestino is in her second term as treasurer.

She also shared some advice.

“Remain focused,” she said. “Set attainable goals and then do what you have to in order to achieve them.”

Also attending the event were Ezra Escudero, Director of the Ohio Latino Affairs Commission who gave the closing remarks, and Lily Cavanaugh, also of the commission. Bonnie Weaver, an Outreach Specialist at Terra, served as host.
