The annual Puerto Rican cultural festival in East Chicago is just around the corner, and I’m looking for volunteers to walk with me in the Puerto Rican parade on Sunday, July 26.  Can I count on you to join me in this fabulous event?

This year’s festival and parade has a special element of cultural pride, as a woman of Puerto Rican descent, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, is likely to be confirmed for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.  It is an exciting time for the Puerto Rican community and I look forward to sharing in the moment.

All volunteers will be provided a free Visclosky for Congress t-shirt to wear in the parade.  Please contact Cindy Wagner, my Campaign Manager, at the Campaign Headquarters (219) 736-2100 or click here to confirm your participation in the parade and to enable us to coordinate a time and place to meet. Please remember to make arrangements for return transportation.

I very much look forward to walking with you in the parade and to taking part in this enjoyable event.
