Paul Phillips, President/CEO of Freedom First, highlighted the credit union’s mission, while Silvia Rincon from Inclusiv shared insights on the Juntos Avanzamos initiative's history and national growth. Katie had the honor of presenting the Juntos Avanzamos proclamation, accepted by Wayne Strickland, Paul Phillips, and Dave Prosser. We heard inspiring remarks from Lisa Spencer of Local Colors of Western VA, Roanoke Mayor Sherman Lea, and Council Member Vivian Sanchez-Jones. The celebration featured a moving flag ceremony led by the Freedom First Multi-Cultural Banking Committee and a special presentation by Dr. Bethany Lackey about Freedom Gives, where they generously donated to A Tree Planted Collective. 🌳 Guests enjoyed salsa lessons by Salsa Noke, delicious catering from Leonore Restaurant, and a fun photo booth to capture the memories! 📸 Thank you to everyone who joined in celebrating culture and community! #HispanicHeritageMonth #CommunityCelebration #JuntosAvanzamos
