From EL CENTRAL Hispanic News!

It’s been another eventful year for the team at EL CENTRAL Hispanic News! We take pride in bringing our readers the “most original” and “most local” stories for and about the Latino community and residents of Southwest Detroit and the metro area.

By the nature of what we do, our team doesn’t always have the chance to meet face to face but we took the opportunity to gather last week for a holiday dinner at Armando’s Mexican Restaurant (just a short walk down the block from the EL CENTRAL office on W Vernor).
Writers and photographers – who often work alone – got to meet the editors and graphic artists who polish their stories with images and prose fit for final publication. The evening featured great Mexican dishes, spirits and music punctuated by a raffle personally sponsored by publisher Eva Garza Dewaelsche (who loves giving out the raffle prizes as much as the winners enjoy receiving them).

The roster of EL CENTRAL team members and writers who contributed stories about our community this past year appears at right. We all hope you enjoy and benefit from the information we have shared with you. It is our commitment to bring even more local stories and resources to you, our readers, in 2024.

Best wishes for a very blessed holiday season and a prosperous new year!

Le deseamos a usted y su familia una Feliz Navidad 
y un próspero Año Nuevo

¡De parte de EL CENTRAL Hispanic News!

¡Ha sido otro año lleno de grandes acontecimientos para el equipo de EL CENTRAL Hispanic News! Estamos orgullosos de ofrecerles a nuestros lectores las historias más originales y locales para y sobre la comunidad latina, los residentes del suroeste de Detroit y el área metropolitana.
Por la naturaleza de nuestro trabajo, nuestro equipo no siempre tiene la oportunidad de reunirse personalmente, sin embargo, la semana pasada nos fue posible compartir juntos, en una cena festiva en el restaurante mexicano Armando’s (a solo una cuadra de la oficina de EL CENTRAL en W Vernor).

Escritores y fotógrafos, que a menudo trabajan solos, conocieron a los editores y artistas gráficos que pulen sus historias con imágenes y prosa aptas para la publicación final. La velada contó con excelentes platos, licores y música mexicanos, realzados por una rifa patrocinada por la editora Eva Garza Dewaelsche (a quien le encanta repartir los premios de la rifa tanto como los ganadores disfrutan de recibirlos).

Arriba, aparece la lista de miembros del equipo de EL CENTRAL y escritores que contribuyeron con historias sobre nuestra comunidad durante el 2023. Esperamos que se hayan beneficiado y disfrutado de toda la información que compartimos con ustedes. Nuestro compromiso es brindarles aún más noticias y recursos locales a nuestros lectores en el 2024.
¡Nuestros mejores deseos en estas fiestas y un próspero año nuevo!
