Time flies when you are having
fun. That's an understatement
in the Rio Grande Valley! I am
honored to provide you with our
fourth edition of the Welcome
Home, RGV directory, and
thrilled to say that it truly has
been the best four years being
of service to you.
Every day is a new adventure, and we are proud to
announce that the response to our project has been
amazing. Over the course of the last year, we've
developed new outreach programs to help make
your experience in the Rio Grande Valley an
unforgettable one. We've launched our Retirement
Community Initiative, with educational programs
and information specifically for your managers and
activity directors. We recognize that they are such
an integral part of your home away from home - and
we feel it is also our responsibility to assist themwith
their needs. We've also launched our First
Responder Leadership Program, which we hope
will allow your volunteers the opportunity to network
with others from communities across the Valley,
strengthen programs already in place, provide
quality education and training, and develop strong
relationships with our local resources in regards to
the health care industry. Finally, we are in the
primary phase of planning our Volunteer Program,
which will give our retirees the
opportunity to give back to the Rio
Grande Valley in a variety of
different capacities. Whether that
be spending an afternoon at the
Food Bank or at one of the
many fantastic festivals the Valley
hosts - we'll put you to work in an
atmosphere that fosters fun!
Welcome Home, RGV is able to provide this
outreach due to the support of our sponsors and
advertisers. We would like to extend a special
thank you to the City of McAllen, Health Care
Unlimited, Valley Baptist Health System, Shah
Eye Center, Clark Chevrolet, Clark Knapp Honda,
and Texas Oncology. As you patronize our
sponsors, as well as advertisers in this directory,
please thank them for their support.
At Welcome Home, Rio Grande Valley ~ we know
that you are an important, vital part of our culture.
We can't thank you enough for choosing our
home as your home, and we look forward to
showing you South Texas hospitality this season.
We will be out and about right there with you,
whether that be at morning coffee, afternoon
happy hour, shuffle tournaments, craft shows, line
dancing or at the Don Wes ~ we hope to see you
real soon.

many thanksTO THE TEAM
At Welcome Home, Rio Grande Valley, we are blessed with anamazing team. Our staff has unending faith in the project, amazingpatience, a work ethic like none other and such diverse talents. Ican't thank them enough for making my job easy - from balancingthe checkbook to creating the checklists, they allow this project togrow. The love, support and sacrifice my families (both at home andat work) have given me is what guides me. As my daddy says, weare most definitely members of the "mutual admiration society".
Bill & Josie are Converted Texans,originally from Florida, now residingpermanently at Snow to Sun RVResort in Weslaco. Bill & Josie havebeen married for 39 years, Josieretired from the US Postal Service,and Bill owned a small cattle ranch& wholesale plant nursery. Theyhave one daughter, Robin who is an occupational therapist andcaptain in the US Army, stationed in Afghanistan.
Before getting hooked on the RV lifestyle, they had a blue water sailboat,“Moonrise” and traveled the coast of Florida, & the Bahamas for 20 +years. After retiring, they found it was time to change direction, so theysold “Moonrise” and bought a class “A” motor home. After traveling theUS for six years, they found they liked the friendly people in the Valleyand decided to make Weslaco their permament home.
Bill is known at Snow to Sun as the "Florida sheriff"; his responsibilitybeing to keep all the people happy and having a good time. Josie says,“He does have a badge, and his jurisdiction runs from San Antonio, tothe Rio Grande. We’re on an adventure, and I’m holding on tight!”
Notes: Special thanks to the City of Hidalgo for the use of the Old HidalgoPumphouse as the backdrop for our cover photo, to Sandy Pena atLionel's Western Wear in Weslaco for providing the clothes for thephotoshoot and to Linda Blackwell Photography for shooting the cover.
