Nationwide Insurance and The SALSA Solution
Donate Books and $1,000 to Latino Book and Family Festival
(Olympia, Wash.) – Nationwide Insurance Company has become the first major corporate partner of The SALSA Solution, purchasing 532 copies of the newly published book to give away at the Dallas Latino Book and Family Festival held in late July at the Dallas Market Center in Texas.
At the same time, Nationwide Insurance and Voices Internacional, publisher of The SALSA Solution, presented a donation of $1,000 to Latino Literacy Now, the non-profit arm of the book festival.
The SALSA Solution is a parable for success with a Hispanic twist. Its story follows two buddies who have burned out in dead-end jobs. To put the “picante” back in their lives, they revive a boyhood dream – starting a Mexican restaurant. The SALSA Solution is a short, fun read, appropriate for audiences of all ages. It is 88 pages in softcover, available for $14.95 at www.salsasolution.com and Amazon.com.
Rafael Colón and Alesa Lightbourne, Ph.D., are co-authors of The SALSA Solution. Colón is one of America’s best-known Latino speakers. His previous book, Journey to Success, won Best Business Book of the Year at the North American Book Exchange. Lightbourne is co-author of eight books ranging from inspiration to corporate history, and teaches writing at Chapman University College.
“We’re delighted that Nationwide Insurance is such a strong supporter of Latino causes, particularly literacy,” said Colón. “Giving back to the community is a key ingredient in the SALSA message. We eagerly anticipate similar opportunities for spreading the good word with other corporate sponsors – particularly with Hispanic Heritage Month coming up next month.”
