Last month LULAC Council 10 was honored at the Greater QC Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Gala with the Community Leadership Award – Impacting the Hispanic and business community; this award is given to an organization who made an outstanding contribution to the Hispanic Community.
Our own council 10 members and Chamber board members Alvaro Macias and Tar Macias presented the award to us.
The LULAC Queen Contest is underway and this year we have 6 Queen Candidates. They are Kristal Caudillo of Silvis, IL; Maria Duran of Davenport, IA; Karina Flores of Moline, IL; Daisy Moran of Moline, IL; Thalia Ruiz of East Moline, IL & Fabiola Trujillo of East Moline, IL.
The candidates sell raffle tickets and the one with the most tick­ets sold wins the crown.
All proceeds from the ticket sales go toward the LULAC Scholarship Fund
This is a very important part of our annual scholarship fundraising effort.
For many years the Queen contest has helped sustain the scholarship program.
Good luck to all the candidates this year.
