Highlighting DjRv -Raul Vicente
River View Observer Staff Writer
“I’m just not ready to quitâ€, says Raul (DjRv ) Vicente Jr. Vicente, aka DjRv as he likes to be called these days, has put out three cd’s. Two salsa songs; one with English lead vocals and one with Spanish lead vocals. You can find them for sale on iTunes and other platforms says Vicente but to his chagrin little if any sales have been generated.
And his third, attempt as recent as last year, was a Spanish remake of Mariah Careys hit song “My Allâ€. It’s called “Yo Daria Todoâ€.
The Hudson County Community College (HCCC)Foundation Board of Directors announced that their 25th Anniversary Gala celebration on Thursday, December 8, 2022, raised nearly $600,000. The event’s theme, “Investing in Student Success,†marked the debut of a new endowed scholarship fund, the Hudson Scholars Program Endowment, that will generate perpetual funding assistance to support student success.
HCCC President Dr. Christopher Reber said the initial goal for the fund is $3 million over the next several years through gifts, grants, and other investments.
