HOLLAND — A longtime radio personality and community role model has been honored for her contributions by the Holland Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton Chapter presented the DAR's Women in America History Award to Lupita Reyes on Thursday, Oct. 12. The award is focused on the role of women, past and present.
Reyes hosted her own radio show for 57 years, perhaps best known as a personality on WHTC. She co-founded the Latin American Society, forerunner of Latin Americans United for Progress, according to a release from the DAR. She also helped establish the Community Help Center in 1969, known today as Community Action House.
Reyes co-founded the Holland Community Health Center, the release said, which provides healthcare for the uninsured and underinsured. She still operates her own counseling center today.
