September 11 , 2006 In this issue I would also like to send out a loving prayer to all those we lost on this , the tragic 5-year anniversary of September 11 . As that tragic day draws near , let us remember - somos Latinos – Pero somos niños adoptivos de los Estados Unidos , therefore we are Americanos . Remember to hold a moment of silence for all those lost souls that this tragedy took from us and to pay tribute to this great nation – the good ole ’ U . S . of A !
Thank you to God Y Mi familia ! See ya at the next Latin ConneXions !
- Sigue Pa ’ lante , Jolie

Hola mi gente de Orlando , Kissimmee y toda la Florida
I am happy to join forces with Jolie Gonzalez in introducing Latin Times Magazine to Central Florida and making our presence known to this side of town ! I actually joined forces with Jolie year ’ s back , in Chicago , where she and I first met . Jolie relocated to Central Florida from Chicago , and embarked in realizing her dream of serving the Latin community . She had always wanted to be a means of informing and uniting the Latino community ; I call her a LiaisonVehicle : she connects the community in so many different ways , and her vehicle of choice is media . I joined Jolie in 2001 when I , too , relocated to Central Florida from Chicago , and I jumped right on board assisting Jolie with the development of her publication . Well , Latin Times Magazine sure has come a long way , all the way from C . L . U . B . Magazine ( City of Latin Urban Beats ) which first hit the streets in 1999 , through Latin Village Magazine , and finally arriving at our destination point : Latin Times Magazine . This publication has evolved , and through her guidance and nurturing , has matured into what it is today : a fine publication for “ The Elite Latino . And with the evolution process , it has expanded , from Tampa to Orlando . I look forward to helping you grow your business through this vehicle , Latin Times Magazine . Tampa Bay and Central Florida are joining forces , Jolie and Marti are joining forces , “ may the force ” be with you too !
Estoy a su orden , tu amiga , Marti Lopez
