Gracias a Sandra Maqueda and El Rey

Washington CASH is all about helping entrepreneurs through its FREE education and training and subsequent microlending opportunities for people starting and growing their business.

We wanted to take a moment to thank Sandra Maqueda for helping Washington CASH and Beto Yarce promote this fantastic service on her El Rey morning show through interviews with the organization.

That's on 1360AM - tune in one of our local stations that offers 24/7 Spanish-language talk and music!

Sandra Maqueda on El Rey

This morning I drove to work (unusual since it's just a walk down the street, but I had meetings in Redmond just a little later on). After paying the meter at 4th and Union, I bumped into the lovely Sandra Maqueda who just started at El Rey 1360 AM as the station's new community outreach director. She's also on-air 10-11 weekday mornings.

She was interviewing Latinos for breast care awareness and asked to interview me (in Spanish). I told her I wasn't a Latina, but she seemed OK with that. ;-) She did a brief interview and then moved on. Said she was really enjoying being downtown and that there are so many Hispanics for her to talk to down here.

I wish a few of our clients saw it that way! See, that's the unique thing about our market: Latinos are literally in every city--for example, did you know Issaquah, Mukilteo, and practically all of Seattle are seeing big growth in Hispanic populations?

We're off to moderate a Spanish-language focus group about the new nutritional information available soon at fast-food restaurants. This focus group is not taking place in Yakima, or the TriCities--but right here in Seattle.

Everyone listening?
