It’s HOTTTT! Like the picture of Luis on our cover. If you need to get that dad bod under control, check out the workout! Of course, you can follow the workout plan but we do not guarantee his results! Our Artist of the month is spectacular. Andy is very talented and his work is setting a new bar for similar artists. He is another success story for SOBO. Art as inspiration for everyone in the WG. I remember solemnly the events of June 12, 2016 and ask each of us to take a moment and again pray for those that survived and the families of those tragically taken from us! Celebrate their memories and help spread a message of hope! #hugsnothate I want to send a warm embrace to all of the fathers in the WG and especially to Jose Quevedo, Sr., Charles Merino, Christopher M. Maldonado, Sr., Jose Quevedo, Jr., Kenny Vidal, Richard Otero, and Carlos Merino. Without these Dads, I wouldn’t have my amazing children or my super amazing grandchildren! Congratulations to my son, Benjamin Quevedo, and his WOHS fellow grads! May the Class of 2018 enjoy the promise of this next stage in their lives and encounter much success! Happy birthday Candace and Cynthia! And happy birthday to Jon, Melanie, Luis (our cover model!), Kelly, Becky, Jenny, Mo, Scott, Brandon, Sarah, Laura, Mary Lea, Ryan, Cody, Alayne, Cliona, Karen, Katharine, Sharon, Steve, Kances, Dixie, Melissa, Tyler, Cindy, and ALL you June birthday people!
