Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Did you know that Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua all celebrate their independence on September 15? Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence on September 16 and September 18, respectively, which is why September 15 was chosen as the day to kick off the month-long celebration (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15).
Follow along during Hispanic Heritage Month as we celebrate the culture, heritage, and contributions of Hispanic and Latin Americans.
Don’t let this offer slip away. Join now and pay nothing until October!
