'Lo Mejor de Nuestra Comunidad'

I am among this year's winners of the Comite Noviembre 'Lo Mejor de Nuestra Comunidad' award. Thanks for the honor.

Here's an excerpt of a letter I received:

On behalf of Comité Noviembre, CN, I am delighted to inform you that you have been selected to receive our 2009 CN “Lo Mejor de Nuestra Comunidad” Award. Through this award, CN recognizes outstanding individuals who are the unsung heroes of our community. These awards honor Puerto Ricans whose pride in their heritage and strength of character have empowered themselves and inspired others to make a significant impact on our community. You were chosen by members of CN by nominations that were submitted by the community. -- Teresa Santiago, Comite Noviembre

Comite Noviembre kicked off this year's Puerto Rican Heritage Month celebrations in New York City on Oct. 29th with the awards reception at El Museo del Barrio. Puerto Rican Heritage Month is in November.

I have known Clarisel for a year and was quickly drawn to her by her selfless commitment to community...As editor and publisher of Puerto Rico Sun Communications, her online independent multi-media social entrepreneurship, she aims to inform, empower and build community with content geared at the community as a whole. Touching on a vast array of issues, events and news in relation to the Puerto Rican community. Clarisel’s cultural influences in Puerto Rican culture are evident in her photography documenting the Puerto Rican experience. -- Efrain Ortiz Jr., Efrain's Corner blog
