On September 21, 2024, Laura Moese, President of the LULAC Ohio Education Foundation (LOEF), in partnership with Ruth Anne Wolfe, Executive Director of Community Happens Here INC., organized a vibrant Hispanic Heritage celebration for the Pleasant Ridge community.

The joyous event was brought to life by Alba Azamar, a LOEF member, and her “Salsamberas” group, who provided lively Salsa lessons. Tony Arreaga, a LOEF member and owner of Valle Verde restaurant, delighted attendees with delicious quesadillas, perfectly complemented by refreshing sangria prepared by the CHH team.

The celebration was a wonderful opportunity for the community to come together, enjoy cultural activities, and appreciate the rich heritage of the Hispanic community. The event was a resounding success, leaving everyone with fond memories and a deeper appreciation for Hispanic culture.
