This past Sunday, TULARE HACER finally had the honor of welcoming Presidenta Municipal Judith Macías Ramírez of Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, México, along with her delegation, to their sister-city of Tulare, CA (a visit that has been years in the making)!!
We gathered at Bravo Farms of Tulare for an evening filled with meaningful conversations, shared traditions, great food, and of course… cheering for team México in the World Cup match! ⚽🇲🇽
We were grateful to share this evening with leaders from both communities; including members of the Tulare City Council, City staff, local school board representatives, and TULARE HACER board members. Guests who joined us that day included: Judith Macías Ramírez, Municipal President (Mayor) of Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, Mexico; her husband, Emmanuel Cervantes; David Ramírez, Tourism Director. Tulare City Council Members José Sigala, Mayor Patrick Isherwood, Steve Harrell, and Dennis Maderos; City staff members Marc Mondell, City Manager, and Thomas Gaffery, Assistant City Manager; Cathy Maderos, TJUHS School Board Member; Eloysa Segura Moraza, TCSD School Board Member; Connie Diaz, COS Board Member; and additional TULARE HACER board members and community leaders.
Since 2020, HACER and the Tulare City Council have persistently worked towards creating this bridge between Tulare and Jalostotitlán. Through this partnership, we look forward to growing more opportunities for cultural exchange, student connections, education and tourism our communities.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this visit possible and to everyone who continues to support the vision of bringing our communities closer together. This is only the beginning. 💛
