LULAC Council 4568 has reached an important milestone—30 years of service, advocacy, and community leadership.

Short answer: as a Mexican American, I would be insane not to. Now, some folks might disagree — even some other Mexican types. Pero before I go on, when I say “Mexican types,” I’m lumping in Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Venezuelans, and more. Why, you might ask?
