This bill is a ceremonial resolution commending the Mohawk Valley Latino Association (MVLA) for hosting its "Baile Y Cultura" dance class series during Hispanic Latino Heritage Month (September 15-October 15, 2025). It recognizes MVLA’s work providing culturally focused programs to support the Latino community in Utica, New York, including family-friendly dance classes like salsa and bachata.
