LULAC
Council #10 of Davenport was founded in 1959. Since that time it has grown in
membership and prestige. Its primary focus is promoting the education of
Hispanic youth. Every year LULAC awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to
Hispanic and other students of the area. Since 1978 LULAC Council #10 has
awarded over $400,000
in scholarships to 673 students. Funds are raised by Council 10
locally through a BINGO operation at its Activity Center and corporate and
individual donations. Other activities are providing educational forums,
seminars, and workshops such as meet the candidates, seminars on immigration
and income tax matters, and workshops on leadership development and civic
participation. LULAC members are frequently called upon to represent the
Hispanic community by the city, school district, and to serve on community
committees and commissions.
