The Mexican Civic Society (MCS) held its annual “Caballero y Dama Azteca” awards ceremony last Friday at Lobo de Mar Banquets in Cicero to honor the work and legacy of Mexican and Mexican-Americans and the impact they have in their community. This year, MCS awarded the Honorable Eduardo Arnal Palomera of the General Consul of Mexico and Chief of Staff for Illinois Senator Richard Durbin Clarisol Duque. “I want to start off by sincerely thanking the Sociedad Civica Mexicana. I know that there were many deserving people before you, which is why I thank you dearly. It is an honor and a privilege to receive this award,” said Duque. “It is a tremendous honor to receive this recognition. In reality, it is gratifying to be able to do what you love,” added Honorable Palomera.
