Assembly Resolution No. 849

BY: M. of A. Buttenschon

 COMMENDING Mohawk Valley Latino Association upon
 the occasion of hosting its "Baile Y Cultura" class
 series in conjunction with the observance of
 Hispanic Latino Heritage Month

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to set aside
months which foster ethnic pride and enhance the profile of cultural
diversity which strengthens the fabric of the communities of the great
State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commend Mohawk Valley Latino Association upon the occasion of hosting
its "Baile Y Cultura" class series in conjunction with the observance of
Hispanic Latino Heritage Month, September 15 - October 15, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, Hispanic Heritage Month is a month-long celebration of
Hispanic and Latino history and culture and serves to recognize the vast
contributions made by such ethnic groups to the advancement of the
United States at large; the important advocacy work, vibrant art, and
popular and traditional foods are of the countless ways Hispanic and
Latino culture has shaped our collective past and present; and

 WHEREAS, The Mohawk Valley Latino Association is a non-profit
organization located in Utica, New York dedicated to providing
culturally-sensitive services and support to the Latino community in the
Mohawk Valley; it works to improve standards of living, increase
community empowerment, honor diversity and culture, and nurture the
minds of local youth; and

 WHEREAS, The classes offered during this celebratory month include
family-friendly dance, salsa, bachata, steps and turns, partner work,
sunset salsa, salsa calena, and range from novice to advanced levels,
creating opportunities for a wide range of attendees; and

 WHEREAS, Today, people of Hispanic and Latin descent continue to
advance communities throughout the country and hold many invaluable
roles such as small business owners, veterans, teachers, public
servants, artists, lawmakers, laborers, and beyond; and

 WHEREAS, Today, the Latino population in the United States is over
60 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, making up almost 19% of
the total population; Latinos continue to help fuel our economy and
enrich our nation as entrepreneurs, athletes, artists, entertainers,
scientists, public servants, and more, and deserve sufficient gratitude
and commendation for their countless contributions to the advancement of
our great State and nation; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend the Mohawk Valley Latino Association upon the occasion of
hosting its "Baile Y Cultura" class series in conjunction with the
observance of Hispanic Latino Heritage Month; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Mohawk Valley Latino Association.
