         An Important MTP Meeting Tuesday Night!

Dear Shaine,

We are invited by Linda Moore to the river this Saturday night, Dec. 12th,  for a McAllen Tea Party Christmas party at the Riverside Club in Mission (956/585-1033) right on the levee from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.  Linda will bring maps to the meeting Tuesday night and give verbal directions to anyone who would like them. Everyone should bring a finger food  or a dessert for our Christmas buffet for everyone to enjoy.  Tea and coffee will be provided.  Soft drinks will be available for purchase. Come enjoy the lights, the food and the fellowship.  Thanks, Linda!
 
                          *********************************************
 
Reminder:  This Tuesday night at 7:00 PM will be an important MTP meeting at Christian Fellowship Church, 2201 Trenton Road in McAllen.  We ask you to read the short bylaws that members will be voting on at the meeting.  We emailed them to everyone and you can
also find them on our website at http://www.mcallenteaparty.net .
 
When you arrive, please take a membership form and a list of committees when you arrive.  We ask you to fill out the form,  go to the table marked for Dues Payment, and receive a ballot and bylaws to review.
 
There will be tables with 5 Standing Committees, which are listed in the bylaws.  Please choose one of them and be aware we will have sub-committees spinning off from them.  For instance, Political Awareness will have sub-committees on Bills and Legislation, but also Elections 2010.  Each Standing Committee wil elect a chair, who will serve on the Executive Committee.
 
If you cannot make the meeting, but would like to be a member of McAllen Tea Party Association, you may mail in your check made out to McAllen Tea Party Association to 5111 N. 10th, Box 298; McAllen, TX 78504.  Please include a return address, so we can mail your decal/bumper sticker to you.  Extra decal/bumperstickers can be bought for $5 each.
 
                                 *****************************************
RGV Tea Parties have an opportunity to hear Tina Binkhauser, a Texas attorney, who began on the grassroots level.  She will be able to speak to us this Thursday, Dec. 10th, at 10:00 AM, location to be determined. 
 
She has served as the the Texas Chairwoman of the Republican Party and is now serving as Chairwoman of Rick Perry's campaign for Governor.  Tina Binkhauser will leave her partisan hat at home to speak to us, so her main qualifications for speaking to us is that she is a conservative, who began at the grassroots level. 
 
Our main question is: WHO IS INTERESTED IN HEARING THIS WOMAN SPEAK ON "CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES" THIS THURSDAY AT 10:00 AM? We need an RSVP, if you plan to attend,  as soon as you can email us at mtp@rgvtp.com with a "yes".  We will , then, let you know the location, depending on the size of the group.  This is a wonderful opportunity to glean information from a woman who has been there and done that.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
