Latino Lubbock Magazine's May issue also includes health info, business info, memorials, info for youth, and so much more - you don't want to miss it!

We've got a copy waiting for you - on stands and online! And with that, on behalf of our Latino Lubbock Magazine, our staff, and my family, congratulations to all the graduates!
