  Mr. POCAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Centro Hispano 
of Dane County as it hosts Fiesta Hispana, an annual celebration of the 
Latino community in Madison, Wisconsin.
  The festival is an important community event that showcases Latino 
heritage and culture. Fiesta Hispana offers traditional cuisine and 
features wonderful dance and music performances as well as fun 
activities for all family members to enjoy.
  The impact of Centro Hispano is felt every day throughout the 
community, not just through today's event. The center engages with the 
community and connects residents with vital education, career and 
general support resources.
  I commend the mission and tireless work of Centro Hispano of Dane 
County to serve and empower local Latino youth and families.
  It is an honor to celebrate Fiesta Hispana 2014 as we come together 
to celebrate the diverse Latino cultures that enrich our community and 
make it stronger.
