We have recently made aware of some concerning allegations about someone claiming to provide transportation services as LULAC Denison. This person claims to work with LULAC and this individual does not speak for or represent our organization.

LULAC is a community volunteer run organization. The majority of our programs/services are free. If you are unsure if someone is a LULAC member/volunteer please reach out to us directly.

If anyone has any questions please contact Alma Puga at 712-267-4891 or Patty Ritchie at 712-292-9909

Meet our Guest Speaker Tania Cortez. She will be speaking tomorrow, July 31st at our 2026 LULAC scholarship ceremony.

Tania Cortez is a first-generation, undergraduate student at the University of Iowa majoring in Health and Human Physiology on the pre-medicine track. She's always known she wanted to become a physician, and she hopes to one day to specialize in family medicine or dermatology.

During her time at Iowa, she's been involved in the TRIO Student Support Services program and has participated in several multicultural organizations that have helped her grow both personally and professionally. Outside of school, she works as a traveling Certified Nursing Assistant, providing patient care in healthcare facilities across Iowa.

Currently, she has been gaining clinical observation and direct patient care hours while studying for the MCAT to continue preparing for medical school. After graduating, she plans to either take a gap year to gain additional clinical experience and possibly earn a Master of Medical Science degree before applying to medical school, or apply during the 2027 application cycle.

With a heavy heart, we are announcing that the Immigrant Heritage Festival 🦋 will not be held this year due to a lack of volunteers. We aim to meet again as a committee, but this depends on volunteer availability. We also need more volunteers on the planning committee.

We want to thank everyone who has supported the Immigrant Heritage Festival over the years - our volunteers, sponsors, performers, and of course, all of you who have attended and made it such a fun event!

You can support our other events such as the LULAC Scholarship Ceremony on July 31st or Las Posadas in December. Please reach out if you are interested in sponsoring or volunteering at any of our events. You can also donate directly to our local scholarship fund by visiting lulacdenison.org.

Also, we are collaborating with the CDC to raise money for our scholarship fund. Our LULAC members will be volunteering at the Hot Summer Nights Latino Night on August 1st.

Volunteer for next year's Immigrant Heritage Festival. ⬇️
