It feels like it was just yesterday
I was writing the introduction for
our second annual Welcome
Home, RGV Directory and here I
am writing one for our third
edition! The past year has flown
by and we are so excited to
launch our third edition and we
hope you will find this directory
useful as you plan your activities
across the Rio Grande Valley.
We know that you have choices when it comes to
your retirement destination, and we are thrilled that
you have chosen the Rio Grande Valley as yours.
From South Padre Island to Rio Grande City with all
points in between, each one of our cities are so very
different from the other – and I would like to
encourage you to experience them all!
As a McAllen native myself, I speak from the heart
and from first-hand experience that the Valley has
so much to offer, such as affordable living, great
weather, opportunities for involvement, outdoor
excursions, the arts, cultural activities and an
endless variety of shopping and dining.
The Welcome Home team wants
to thank you for letting us share
our passion of the Rio Grande
Valley with you and allowing us
to be part of your retirement
experience.
We are so thankful for the people
who make this project possible!
We extend a special thank you to
the City of McAllen, Palm Harbor Homes, Health Care
Unlimited, Charles Clark Chevrolet, Clark Knapp
Honda, Dairy Queen, and the Encore Property Group.
When you patronize these sponsors, and the
advertisers listed in our directory, please thank them
for making it all possible! I am truly blessed to have
the opportunity to love what I do, and know that we
are making a difference in your lives. Whether it is
by helping you find a retirement community to call
home, to finding the right product or service that
meets your needs – we are here to help.
Enjoy this edition of the Welcome Home, RGV
Directory! We look forward to getting to know you
this season!
