The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) Council 10 and proud families from the Quad Cities gathered to honor the 2012 LULAC Scholarship Recipients.
LULAC awarded $12,000 to 19 Quad City area students who sought the scholarship to fund their future educational goals. The chosen students were ones that exemplified studious work and grades, as well as showcasing school and community involvement.
Davenport Attorney Cathy Zamora Cartee who once was also a recipient of the very same scholarship had the privilege to serve as the guest speaker. Sharing her personal story she left the young students with these words, “Wear your heritage proud. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t. And always help others when you get the chance.”
As the largest LULAC Council in the Midwest, LULAC Council 10 to the moment has raised and awarded $400,000 to more than 700 students from the Quad Cities.
