"Honoring our Founders"
QCI held their 4th annual fundraising breakfast on November 13th, 2012 at St. Ambrose University-Rolgalski Center at 7:30 am. We had people of many faiths come and enjoy breakfast with us. At this one hour event, we "honored our founders" of QCI with plague awards. Those honored are as follows: Rev. Ken Kuenning, Church of Peace, UCC, Rock Island, Rev. William Grimes, Second Baptist Church, Rock Island, Monsignor Marvin Mottet, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Davenport, Justice Thomas Kilbride, and Joseph Smith. Also Loxi Hopkins who received the 2012 Marvin Mottet Leadership Honoree award. We want to recognize our breakfast sponsors. They included St. Ambrose University, Sodexo Catering (St. Ambrose), Lexus of the Quad Cities, Quad City Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, and United Food Commercial Workers Local 431. With all the help from our sponsors, QCI continues to grow and make the Quad Cities a more just society. Thank you to all of you who came to our breakfast and supports what QCI's works for.
