http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2013/spsep13/spsep13.htm Dear Primos and Friends:
The September Table of Contents is below, but first I want to share the following good news:
The Westminster, California City Council, passed a Resolution on July 24th honoring all Hispanics/Latinos.
In the past, members of my local LULAC Chapter 3017, often requested and were successful in having the City of Westminster make a Proclamation in recognition of Hispanic Heritage Month.
This year, City Councilman Sergio Contreras, a LULAC member, went one step further. He proposed a City Resolution be passed that every year the City of Westminster recognized Hispanic Heritage Month, not as a result of a citizen request, but as a City Council. Hooray for Sergio!!
I share this, hopeful that other groups will emulate Sergio's action in their city. Call your Mayor's office, and ask what is needed to request either a City Proclamation or Resolution recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month.
Best wishes . . . Mimi
