September proved to be a busy and successful month for DB, with our annual DB Welcome Dinner, elections for the new 2009-2010 executive board, our participation in the 45th annual Connecticut State Puerto Rican Parade (and Banquet!) and a great Latino Heritage Month event with Yale alum Pablo Delano, a documentary photographer and current professor of fine arts at Trinity College in Hartford.
