youth to enjoy the summertime and become more connected to a vibrant and
diverse community,” Legislator Solages wrote. “I was thrilled to be a

part of an event that is quickly becoming a new summertime tradition,
and I thank Assemblymember Solages for her leadership in bringing us
together for such a wonderful occasion.”
