Kent International Festival - June 27

This Saturday marks a cool new tradition - the Kent International Festival!

We are told that there are 120 languages spoken by Kent residents. Did you have any idea?

So they're planning a family-style celebration of this diversity that brings together different cultures, and with a partner like Kent4Health we expect a nod to the local farmers from the farmers market as well as other health-related exhibits and activities. There will be performances going on all day long--20 in all.

Read about it on the ColorsNW blog.

TGIF - the week's PSBJ has come out and with it, a great local focus on banking (how timely!).

And ... Don't miss the op-ed piece from Carlos Guangorena, president and CEO of Plaza Bank, the Northwest's first Latino bank.

>>The article focuses on a new City of Seattle initiative, Bank On Seattle-King County, to reach the unbanked population here locally. It's an initiative that's taken off in San Francisco, and we think it will here, too. If you're not a subscriber and would like a PDF of the article, please email us at info@conexion-marketing.com.

If I don't post again today, wishing you all a fabulous weekend! See my post yesterday about all the happenings in the Latino community ...
