To commemorate National Hispanic Heritage Month, the Camden County Freeholder Board’s Office of Hispanic Affairs will present the 18th Annual Prominent Hispanic Awards during a dinner and ceremony on Friday, Oct. 11 at 6 p.m. at The Mansion, located at 300 Main Street in Voorhees.
“We recognize the dedication and contributions of the unsung members of the Hispanic community that serve as role models and make a difference in the quality of life for all residents,” said Freeholder Carmen Rodriguez. “The honorees were nominated by their peers for their accomplishments in areas ranging from culture and education to business and community service.”
