Celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month 

During last week’s City Council meeting, Mayor Birney proclaimed Sept. 15 – Oct. 15, 2023, as National Hispanic Heritage Month in Redmond. Annually, this month is recognized as a time to honor the invaluable ways Hispanics, Chicana/os, and Latina/os contribute to our common goals, to celebrate their diverse and rich cultures, and to work together towards a stronger, more inclusive, and more prosperous society for all.
