Saltillo meetings

Luis Cantu, McAllen Chamber Interamerican Relations Vice President and I traveled to Saltillo last week for a meeting with the Secretary of the City Council and another with the Secretary for Economic Development of the State Government of Coahuila, to plan a journey of our Mayor Richard Cortez along with a delegation of business people.

Moreover, last week, I attended the McAllen Chamber of Commerce Board Retreat where I had the opportunity to present the objectives of Casa McAllen.

Let It Rain.

It has now been somewhat raining since Sunday. This is really great because we were really in need of some rain around here. The evenings have become a bit cooler, and it is a bit more enjoyable to step out during the day. However, it might prove to be an inconvenience if you have to be outdoors. Even driving can be a bit dangerous to those who have become unaccustomed to driving in the rain. So be careful out there, but also enjoy the rain while we have it. It's great for all our green surroundings!
