  Mr. GOMEZ. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the 25th 
anniversary of the Eagle Rock Concerts in the Park summer music series. 
The Eagle Rock Concerts in the Park series was founded by Michael 
Nogueira in 1997 and has grown to become an annual attraction that 
residents from Eagle Rock and neighboring communities in Northeast Los 
Angeles look forward to each year.
  For the last 25 years, the Eagle Rock Concerts in the Park series has 
advanced community cohesiveness in Northeast Los Angeles through the 
artistic musical mediums of performance.
  The Eagle Rock Concerts in the Park series was especially critical in 
promoting a sense of comradery and community during the COVID-19 
pandemic.
  Today, I am proud to recognize Michael Nogueira, the Eagle Rock 
Chamber of Commerce, and Sir Michael's Events for their tireless 
efforts in making this annual event an overwhelming success and for 
making Northeast Los Angeles and the Eagle Rock community a better 
place to live.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and 
celebrating the Eagle Rock Concerts in the Park summer music series on 
its 25th anniversary.
