President Bush welcomed four McDonald’s restaurant managers and Owner/Operators to the White House for an invitation-only reception on Thursday, Oct. 9, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. This exclusive event brought together select Hispanic business and community leaders from across the nation.
