Celebrando Austin - An Event to Remember

“Nothing short of fantastic”
“The best in 37 years”
“What an event!”
These were just a few of the comments made by the attendees of the
2010 Celebrando Austin Awards Banquet. Together with 900 attendees,
Celebrando Austin truly celebrated all that Austin is by highlighting the
area’s accomplishments while honoring award winners, inducting the
2010 GAHCC Board of Directors and recognizing the accomplishments of
Hispanics in the Austin Community.
Crowds walked into the Hilton’s Grand Ballroom led by the ladies in red, the
all female mariachi, Las Alteñas. Honorary co-chairs Congressman Lloyd
Doggett and Police Chief Art Acevedo began the evening and then turned
the reins over to KEYE-TV’s Ron Oliveira who gracefully emceed the evening’s
events. The night’s celebration was highlighted with tango, salsa and chacha dancers who spun, dipped and sashayed across the dance floor. After
a delicious dinner of filet mignon, the 2010 Award Winners were presented.
Notably, Gilbert M. Martinez won the Lifetime Achievement Award for his 40+
years of service in Central Texas. Rounding out the evening, the GAHCC leadership made its official transition to its new Chair, Pilar Sanchez, and inducted
the 21-member 2010 Board of Directors.
Fireworks, mariachis and tuxedos are what attendees will immediately remember when they look
back at the first Celebrando Austin event. But with a little thought, they will recall the recognition
of leaders in the Hispanic community who have shaped Austin into what it is today. This is a true
celebration of Austin.

“Una noche fantástica”
“El mejor en 37 años”
“¡Que evento tan maravilloso!”
Estos son algunos de los comentarios de los asistentes al Banquete de Premios Celebrando Austin
2010. Junto a 900 asistentes, Celebrando Austin realmente festejó toda la esencia de Austin al enaltecer
los logros obtenidos en el área al otorgarle premios
de honor a los ganadores, instalar la Junta Directive
2010 de GAHCC y reconocer los logros de los hispanos de la comunidad de Austin.
Los numerosos y distinguidos asistentes entraron al Hilton’s Grand Ballroom encabezados por las damas en
rojo, el mariachi femenino, Las Alteñas. Los co-presidentes honorarios Congressman Lloyd Doggett y Police
Chief Art Acevedo proclamaron el inicio del evento y luego le dieron las riendas a Ron Oliveira de KEYE-TV,
quien sirvió de maestro de ceremonias. Durante la celebración se destacó la participación de los bailarines de
tango, salsa y cha-cha–cha quienes giraron y se deslizaron al vaivén de la música alrededor de la pista de baile.
Después de disfrutar una deliciosa cena de filet mignon, se presentaron los ganadores de los premios 2010. Se
destacó a Gilbert M. Martínez al ser galardonado con el premio de Lifetime Achievement Award por sus más
de 40 años de servicio en Texas. Para culminar la noche, los lideres de GAHCC transfirieron el poder a la nueva
Presidente de la Junta Directiva, Pilar Sánchez, e incorporaron los 21 miembros de la Junta Directiva 2010.
Fuegos artificiales, mariachis y esmoquin es lo que recordarán los asistentes al mirar atrás al primer evento de
Celebrando Austin. Así mismo recordarán el reconocimiento de los lideres de la comunidad hispana que han
llevado a Austin a ser lo que es hoy día. Esta es una verdadera celebración de Austin.

Walmart Provides Public Statement
Walmart Hace Anuncio al Público
By Kellie Duhr Public Affairs and Government Relations
The rumors circulating via text message, and other means, about
Walmart coordinating or supporting immigration raids in our
stores are not true. These rumors are baseless and inaccurate.
We think it's unfortunate that such unsubstantiated rumors are
spread.
On immigration reform, our position is clear. We believe reform is
needed. We are committed to working with all interested parties
– lawmakers, employers, and consumers – to make comprehensive reform a reality.

Los rumores que están circulando por medio de mensajes de texto, y otros
medios, indicando que Walmart está apoyando o coordinando redadas contra inmigrantes en nuestras tiendas son falsos. Estos rumores son erróneos
y sin fundamento. Pensamos que es lamentable que estos rumores sean
propagados.
Nuestra posición sobre la reforma migratoria es clara. Creemos que la reforma es necesaria. Estamos comprometidos a colaborar con las partes interesadas, legisladores, empleadores y consumidores, para que la reforma
migratoria se convierta en realidad.
