Two new League of United Latin American Citizens councils will be established to serve the growing Hispanic population across Western Illinois and Eastern Iowa. The new LULAC chapters in Moline and Muscatine will be hosted starting March 1 by Casa Guanajuato Quad Cities and the Muscatine Center for Nonprofits. The formation of each council will be guided by LULAC Council 10, Davenport, according to a Casa news release.
