The McKinley Park Civic Association, the neighborhood's longest-serving community group, plans to celebrate its 46th year of service at its annual banquet, scheduled for 1 p.m. on Sunday, March 5, 2017, at Polonia Banquets, 4604 S. Archer Ave., Chicago. In addition to offering victuals and camaraderie with friends and neighbors, the event will also honor local educators and contributors to the McKinley Park community.
At the banquet, Pastor Darrell Daulton of Bethany Baptist Church is set to receive the William H.G. Toms Award for Community Service, an honor the association has bestowed since 1973 to individuals who have contributed positively to the community. In addition, Educator of the Year awards will be presented to top neighborhood teachers, including Barbara Atterberry of De La Salle Institute, Yvette Alvarado Cruz of Blessed Sacrament Parish, Carla Gurgone of Evergreen Academy, Joseph Joyce of Kelly High School, Judith Rodriguez of Everett Elementary School and Millie Salguero of Namaste Charter School.
