Congressman Rubén Hinojosa to Address Family Engagement Conference and Attend Literacy Day

U.S. Rep. Rubén Hinojosa (TX-15)

will be the guest speaker for the McAllen Independent School District's Family Engagement Conference, Saturday, January 23, 2010 at McAllen High School at 2021 La Vista, McAllen, Texas.
The Parental Involvement Program begins at 8:15 a.m. Congressman Hinojosa is scheduled to speak at 9:00 a.m. The focus of the program is to stress the importance of parental involvement in the scholastic activities of their children. When parents are involved, their children are more likely to succeed in school.

"Ensuring that all of our children succeed is a task that involves everyone in the community, particularly parents and families. When a parent becomes involved in their children's school work it provides the child with not only guidance but it instills a sense of hard work and responsibility and it encourages the student to do his or her very best", said Hinojosa.

Also on Saturday, January 23, 2010, Congressman Hinojosa will attend the Youth Advisory Committee's Literacy Day at the Delta Mercado in Edcouch. The event is sponsored by the Edcouch-Elsa Gear Up Program and is open to the public from 4:00 p.m.- 8:00 p.m. Children and their parents will be able to enjoy live music, theatre performances, food and refreshments and free books will be given to the children.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

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

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.
