This is Quezada\u2019s second award: she was also given a lifetime achievement award in Montreal, upon a recent visit to the Canadian city. <\/P>
\n

Dominican Consul in Canada, Raquel Jacobo de Cabral, bestowed the plaque upon Quezada, \u201cfor her contribution to elevating the meringue to an art and making it part of Dominican culture and for being a messenger of joy and hope to Dominicans living abroad.\u201d <\/P>

The tour will begin with her stellar participation in the \u201cChristmas Lights\u201d celebration, a special event that will take place on the steps of the National Palace and will be attended by Dominican President Leonel Fern\u00e1ndez Reyna and his wife, Margarita Cede\u00f1o de Fern\u00e1ndez. <\/P>
