Statement by Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference on Passing of Robert Gittelson

Statement by Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference on Passing of Robert Gittelson

SACRAMENTO, California, Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Dr. Samuel Rodriguez made the following statement today following the death of his close friend and colleague Robert Gittelson. Gittelson served on the board of directors of NHCLC/Conela and was vice president for government affairs.

“Robert Gittelson was more than the vice president for governmental affairs. He was my friend, brother and co-laborer. His commitment and advocacy on behalf of religious liberty, immigrants, righteousness and justice made him a prominent voice on Capitol Hill. I loved him and will miss him beyond imagination. This I can say about Robert without any hesitation; he loved God, his family and the least of these. Robert did justice, loved mercifully, and walked humbly before God. Our prayers and love are with Patty and the rest of the family during this difficult time,” said Dr. Samuel Rodriguez, president of NHCLC/Conela.

Mr. Gittelson was a leader within the fight for immigration reform. He aggressively met with senators, congressmen, the White House administration and their staffs, participating in well over 300 meetings in the nation’s capital, strongly advocating for a legislative solution to the immigration crisis in America and on behalf of the unaccompanied children at the border.

“Robert Gittelson was an outstanding leader and follower of Jesus with a heart to serve others, especially the Latino evangelical community. We will greatly miss him,” said Dr. Albert L. Reyes, president and CEO of Buckner International and member of the NHCLC/Conela board of directors.

“Robert Gittelson was a tireless professional who relentlessly pursued immigration justice for those who had been manacled by the system he strove to change for the better. When immigration reform comes to the United States, politicians, students, and all who fought for change will remember Robert Gittelson and know his clarion call for reform was finally heard,” said Dr. Carlos Campo.

An alumnus of the University of Southern California, Robert Gittelson spent almost 30 years as an apparel manufacturer and importer. He built his business working shoulder to shoulder with immigrants and had a thorough understanding of the value that the immigrant population brings to the economy, as well as society. A frequent speaker at symposiums and panel discussions across America on immigration across America, he was the author of more than 80 published articles, essays, and journal articles on the subject of comprehensive immigration reform. As President of Conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Gittelson was also a founding member of the Evangelical Immigration Table.

Upon joining NHCLC, Robert Gittelson said, “In meeting Samuel Rodriguez in early 2010, I realized that he was blessed by God to be a natural leader. As we worked together on immigration, we slowly developed an appreciation for the goals that we shared, not just on immigration, but on larger societal goals as well.

“When Samuel asked that I join him as the vice president for governmental affairs for the NHCLC, he asked that I pray on my decision, and I did,” Gittelson continued. “I am certain that the Lord intends for me to continue to work with the NHCLC, and I am committed to work tirelessly in support of the goals and aspirations of that worthy and noble institution.”

Robert Gittelson resided with Patricia, his wife of 31 years, in Los Angeles, California. Patricia is a practicing immigration attorney. Together with Gittelson they have two adult sons, Alex, a graduate of the University of Southern California, and Jesse, a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University.

NHCLC/Conela is the largest Hispanic Christian organization serving millions of Evangelicals, 40,118 U.S. churches and more than 500,000 churches across the globe. Seeking to reconcile evangelist Billy Graham’s message of salvation with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s march of prophetic activism, the NHCLC/Conela emphasizes “7 Directives” of Life, Family, Compassionate Evangelism, Stewardship, Justice, Education and Youth.

Alpina Foods Invests In Avena Oat Smoothie Line

Alpina Foods Invests In Avena Oat Smoothie Line

The South American favorite goes beyond tradition with expansion of flavors and enhanced packaging

MIAMI, Aug. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Alpina Avena, a traditional, creamy, oat-based dairy beverage, has been a staple in many Latin American homes for centuries. In recent years, Latin American foods have increasingly grown in popularity across the Americas as consumers look for new and exciting flavors. This widespread trend, along with consumers’ continued interest in convenient and healthy meal options, has led Alpina Foods to expand its Alpina Avena line of oat smoothies. This month, the company is introducing new packaging and flavors of the 18-year-old product line.

Alpina’s recipe follows the generations-old tradition of El Espinal, a region in the company’s home country of Colombia. As Bogota resident Damaris Suta reminisced, “When I was a kid, we went to the market in Espinal to drink cold oatmeal. That is a tradition, you drink it cold and it is a great refreshment.”

Alpina began manufacturing Avena in Colombia in 1996. The first mass-produced oatmeal drink, Avena quickly became a top-selling brand of oat-based drinks in Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, and widely accepted across Central America. The traditional beverage is a family staple, with parents and children alike drinking Avena as part of a healthy diet to their kids for generations. With 170 calories, five grams of protein, and 15% of an adult’s recommended daily allowance of calcium per serving, Alpina Avena is a delicious recipe that satisfies hunger on-the-go or at home.

“Alpina Foods brings nearly 75 years’ worth of dairy experience to our operations here in the U.S.,” said Gustavo Badino, Alpina Foods’ general manager. “But we also bring an unparalleled understanding of Latin American flavors and traditions, and we’re excited to bring them together to offer an expanded line of Alpina Avena to consumers nationwide.”

Avena’s new packaging, shelf-stable tetra packs, incorporates bold colors that stand out in-store. The design highlights the flavors, and in a nod to its heritage, all Alpina Avena packaging features one side in English, the other in Spanish.

Alpina Avena is available in original, light and cinnamon, as well as new flavors dulce de leche, strawberry, and chocolate. All flavors are available in 8.4-ounce (250 mL) tetra packs, and original and cinnamon are also available in a 32-ounce size. Avena is sold in select regional and independent retailers including WalMart, Winn Dixie and Publix in South Florida; Fiesta Markets in Houston; Western Beef in New York/New Jersey; and nationwide in independent retailers as well as select WalMart, Stop & Shop, and ShopRite stores.

Georgia Power helps customers fight summer heat

Georgia Power helps customers fight summer heat

Company offers energy efficiency resources, bill payment assistance as high temperatures return to Georgia in August

ATLANTA, Aug. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As the heat of the Georgia summer returns following a period of cooler weather, Georgia Power is reminding customers that focusing on energy efficiency can help keep their homes cool and reduce the impact of the hot weather on power bills. As part of continued efforts to help customers save energy and money, the company has made it easy to find energy efficiency solutions and advice at www.GeorgiaPower.com and is sharing tips and advice throughout the summer on Twitter using the hashtag #SaveEnergy.

Logo – http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050216/CLW066LOGO

Some of the summer-specific tips available from Georgia Power include:

See the SEER. When purchasing a window- or wall-mounted cooling unit, choose a model with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). The higher the rating, the more efficient the unit.
Maximize your flow. Change or clean air conditioner filters regularly to maximize efficiency and keep air vents clear of any obstructions, like furniture or drapes.
Cool air belongs inside. Sealing doors and windows to stop air leaks can lower bills by up to 10 percent. Adding additional attic insulation can also improve efficiency and reduce bills.
Keep a lid on it. Covering pots and pans when cooking not only helps cook food more efficiently, but reduces “heat buildup” in your home.
Film your windows. Installing solar or “reflective film” on windows can block a large portion of incoming sunlight, reducing heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter.

Other programs and services available at www.GeorgiaPower.com include a free online energy checkup, the ability to schedule a free in-home energy audit and access to a variety of rebates and incentives which can make energy efficiency improvements even more cost effective for home owners and businesses. Additionally, the company’s My Power Usage program, a free service connected to Georgia Power online accounts, allows customers to track their daily energy use online, project their month bill and stay within a set energy budget by signing up for account notifications.
