Today the January 2010 issue of Latin Connection magazine came out and I’m pleased to announce that yours truly is on the cover! I am sincerely thankful for the opportunity to grace the cover and hope that this is the beginning of many more.

Thank you to Wayne Zamora the Editor of Latin Connection for giving me this opportunity, to Angela Michelle for always being an amazing photographer, Desiree Cervantes for being the best photoshoot assistant, Alex Trey for being wonderfully supportive and Tami Crawford for making sure my make up is always fabulous. Without all of you this wouldn’t be the same.

And of course a special thanks to my family and friends, because they always inspire me to keep pushing myself to do more.

The results are in for The Salvation Army red kettle campaign and I’m pleased to announce that I came in second place! I was able to raise over $1,000.00 in contributions and lost by less than $200.00. I am so thankful for everyone who helped me with this endeavor and supported The Salvation Army, which is a truly wonderful charity that I whole heartedly love.

I may only be 25, however I believe the fact that I came in second place and competed with large companies, celebrities and even the Mayor of San Antonio is a testament that persistance does pay off. I most definitely fulfilled my nickname of “The Little Mexican That Could” and I’m pleased to say that.

Back in November, I sat down with Karla Blanco of La Prensa for an interview. Sometimes I get a little behind on the press that I do, so I’m just now posting the article that came out in the newspaper.

Thank you to La Prensa for the wonderful article and the opportunity to share a little more about myself and my beliefs, with the community.

On December 20, 2009, I had another photo shoot with Angela of AM Photography. We met up to shoot the images for my cover of Latin Connection Magazine, as well as do some updated shots. The photo shoot was lots of fun, we definitely took some great photos and Angela has amazing talent. The picture above is from our shoot and I’ll have an album up as soon as I can.

Thank you to the San Antonio Business Journal for their support this month. They featured a photo of myself and Donna Guerra at the last Grand Gusto event, which supported the San Antonio Food Bank. I am happy to support Grand Gusto and will soon be doing public speaking at some of their events.

Thank you to FOX News and Shaun Stevens for the live interview on 12/11. I had so much fun showing everyone my kettle and talking about the Red Kettle Campaign. I can’t wait to see how much money we all raise for The Salvation Army!

Today I created my online profile for the Red Kettle Campaign with the Salvation Army. The actual campaign of kettles will begin on December 12th.

For the first time in San Antonio the Salvation Army has chosen 9 individuals to compete in a competitive Red Kettle Campaign. Myself, along with Mayor Julian Castro, Patsy Torres, Cleto Rodriguez and many others are competing to see which of us can raise the most funds for the Salvation Army. Each of us have decorated our own personal kettle (thank you Tia Mari!) and they will appear at different locations throughout the city.

Since the goal is to raise the most funds, we’re also competing online as well. Please take a moment to view my online profile and share the link with others, so I can raise the most funds for charity!

Grand Gusto is a charity in San Antonio that I support. Their last event at Buddah Rok was quite a success and I’m happy to have been a part of it. This last event specifically helped the Food Bank and during the holiday season they can most definitely use the assistance.

Last month I attended a fundraiser for Nico LaHood who is running for Bexar County District Attorney. As a child, my Father ran for the same position in the 90’s and I have a personal interest in this elected official position for many reasons. The evening was amazing, his speech literally brought tears to my eyes and no one in the room left without a sense of community and a better understanding of who Nico is and what he stands for.

Over the past few months, I’ve learned a lot about Nico. He is a man who has seen the judicial system from every point of view, as a Prosecutor, a Defense attorney, a Magistrate Judge and more. His story is one that a simple blog on my website can not convey without leaving out an important part of the story. Instead, I’d rather direct you to his website and say I support Nico LaHood and I hope you will too.
