Mayor Domenic J. Sarno joined with the Ecuadorian Community to celebrate Ecuadorian Independence Day with a flag raising ceremony on the front steps of City Hall. Mayor Sarno presented a proclamation declaring “Ecuadorian Independence Day” in the City of Springfield.
Mayor Sarno states, “During this celebration of Ecuadorian independence and heritage, citizens of Ecuadorian ancestry highlight their accomplishments, culture and pride and, in so doing, they increase the appreciation for the contributions they have made to our great City of Springfield, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States of America.”
“I want to also acknowledge and thank the Alban family, especially Xiomara and her father Omar, for all they do for our Springfield community,” Mayor Sarno added. “Mr. Alban is so humble and genuine and I look forward to joining with him and the community for this event each year. It is also special to join with his daughter Xiomara Albán DeLobato, who was a former intern in my office who has started a beautiful family and now serves Chief of Staff and Vice President for the EDC. Thank you, Xiomara, Omar, and to all who joined and made this annual celebration special.”
