A
B
If
you
could
go
to
page
five,
you
see
that
we're
actually
seeing
what
we
have
requested
or
what
we
projected
that
we
were
going
to
be
receiving,
so
we're
doing
really
good
on
the
collections.
So
everything's
going
really
good,
we're
very
blessed
that
everything's
picking
up
again,
people
are
traveling.
People
are
staying
at
hotels,
and
so
it
shows
here
what
we
were
a
little
bit
conservative,
but
we
see
how
everything
is
coming
from
we're
going
to
most
likely
exceed
our
expectations
for
this
this
year,.
D
B
Yeah,
it
was
a
whole
team
effort
and
looking
not
knowing
what
to
expect,
but
you
know:
we've
been
very
blessed
and
obviously
the
markets,
the
trade,
the
corporate
business,
the
law
enforcement,
the
medical
staff,
all
that
really
helped,
and
now
that
people
are
now
traveling,
it's
it's
been
we've
seen
here
at
the
others,
an
increase
in
sales.
So
you
know
paso,
which
is
great.
You
know.
Restaurants,
are,
you
know,
we'll
see
more
traffic.
E
D
D
B
E
B
Yeah
well,
we
know
because
it's
six
percent,
okay,
six
percent
tax,
so
we
do
know
what.
But
it's
kind
of
upgrading
hard
to
say
with
with
the
numbers
we
could
say:
okay,
six
percent
of
that
was
this
month,
but
really
that
since
they're
federal
and
state
government
agencies,
we
don't
touch
that
money.
B
D
B
B
Us,
yes,
so
I'm
sure
her
report
is
page.
Six
two
things
I
wanted
to
highlight
is
the
definitely
there
was
a
whole
project
that
we
have
here.
We're
really
involved.
We've
recorded
a
lot
of
stuff
here
and
in
order
she's
very
well
known
on
tv
pbs
station.
So
it's
really
good.
So
we're
going
to
be
put
ourselves
there.
B
We
have
even
staff
from
casa
lado
that
came
in
somewhere
and
helped
us
out,
because
since
they
were
going
to
be
filming
in
novolaredo,
we
we
had
a
mexican
vehicle
that
stayed
with
them,
took
them
over
there
and
do
all
the
shots,
but
overall
they
they.
They
did
a
huge
promotion
for
the
city.
So
we're
really
excited
you
know.
Once
it
comes
out
on
tv,
I
know
that
people
are
going
to
be
really
amazed
with
everything.
They
were
really
impressed
with
what
the
city
had
to
come
to
several
restaurants.
B
Here,
local
restaurants,
they
loved
it.
They
were
crazy
for
the
food
so
yeah.
That
was
something
you
know.
Eileen
was
really
really
involved
in
vettel
and
selena
and
myself,
and
so
we,
a
lot
of
the
staff,
was
really
involved
on
this
project
and
the
other
one
is,
you
know:
we're
we're
working
with
council
member
vanessa,
venice
for
the
avocado
fest
fiesta,
so
we're
really
excited
for
that.
It's
going
to
be
at
uni
trade
stadium
and
on
october
23rd,
and
right
now
we
have
been
getting.
B
You
know
the
economic
development
and
technology
and
arnold
have
been
watching
us
with
sponsors.
For
that
we
are
finalizing
the
band.
That's
going
to
be
playing
it's
going
to
be
free
event
to
the
public,
so
we're
trying
to
get
a
good
band.
That's
going
to
attract
a
lot
of
people
to
come
in
obviously
we're
limited
in
capacity,
but
we're
hoping
that
we
can
gather
six
thousand
people.
B
So
people
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out
if
they
want
to
do
like
a
job,
fair
or
something.
But
entice
with
all
the
new
warehouses
that
are
bringing
the
hotels
like
missions
and
westpac.
Those
are
big
companies
fortune
500
companies
that
are
that
already
building
their
warehouse
this
year.
So
we're
really
excited
for
that.
I
know
it's
going
to
be
with
a
lot
of
the
festivities
that
we
used
to
have
that
that
council
due
to
colgate.
B
B
So
I
think
they're
priming,
I
think
it
kind
of
starts
ending
that
time
yeah.
But
since
we,
since
we
have
to
like
missions,
is
a
huge
avocado
company
in
the
westpac,
but
missions
probably
is
the
biggest
from
them
too.
They
we.
They
are
opening
big
warehouses
here,
distribution
centers
here
in
monreal,
and
then
obviously
the
council
members
in
that
district,
so
wanted
to
do
something
and
then
working
with
the
dynamic
development
techno.
B
You
know
it
was
easy
for
them
to
sponsor
so
we're
they
were
the
ones
that
jumped
into
board,
and
so
we're
really
excited
doing
something
different.
I
will
cover
something
one
of
the
one
of
the
biggest
products
that
we
cross
here.
Strawberries
is
another
one,
all
the
berries
basically,
but
avocado
is
probably
the
biggest
yeah.
It's
a
prime.
So.
B
B
D
D
B
D
A
B
C
B
So
I'm
sure
the
two
things
that
I
want
to
hide
we're
really
excited.
One
of
them
is
obviously
the
tournament,
the
pony
tournament.
We're
really
excited
we're
going
to
be
hosting
20
teams
for
the
same
weekend,
the
voluminous
so
we're
really
excited,
and
then,
after
that,
we're
gonna
be
hosting
a
boxing
tournament
as
well,
but
we're
really
excited
for
the
for
this
tournament.
The
baseball.
B
I'm
really
really
excited
for
the
facility
that
we
have
partnered
with
kilim,
with
tang
yu
and
the
city,
the
tennis
complex,
it's
a
beautiful
facility.
We,
the
most
of
the
project,
is
already
I'll
say
it's
like
50
60
complete,
but
we
finally
did
the
ground
breaking,
but
we're
really
excited
because
this
is
going
to
be
able
to
help
us
bring
more
tournaments
in
the
tennis.
B
I
know
borderlands
does
a
really
big
tournament
for
tennis,
but
I
know
mr
avigno
she's.
You
know
with
all
the
fields
that
we
have
scattered.
The
tennis
market
is
probably
the
biggest
one.
Now
this
one
is
going
to
be
way
bigger
and
it's
going
to
be
professional,
so
it's
will
be
able
to
host
even
collegiate
tournaments
as
well.
So
we're
really
excited
we
want
to
thank
the
partners,
you
know
the
killing
for
delaying
the
land,
the
tamiu
again
for
a
great
partner
and
then
obviously
the
city
as
well.
B
D
B
Going
to
attract-
and
it's
going
to
help
a
lot-
the
restaurants,
the
hotels,
all
those
entertainment
centers,
because
they
bring
their
kids,
they
bring
their
family.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
good,
a
good
thing
for
for
our
community,
especially
right
now
that
we've
meet
all
that
and
people
are
very
excited
too.
D
B
Sorry,
22
22,
yes
january,
2022,
yeah,
2022,
so
they're
looking.
I
think
it's
like
an
18-month
project
right
now
like
it's
it
the
actual
facility
itself.
The
bones
are
there,
like
all
the
the
most
of
the
structures
there?
The
fields
you
kind
of
could
see
a
little
bit
how
they're
going
to
look,
but
it's,
I
would
say
it's
like
50
60,
complete
right
now,
but
we're
you
know.
While
we'll
start
ready,
getting
ready,
the
city
is
going
to
start
promoting
it
and
hopefully,
by
the
time
it
opens.
D
C
D
C
D
C
A
C
D
D
G
G
G
G
G
G
C
B
D
C
G
B
I
B
Yeah
yeah
we'll
reach
out
to
the
to
mr
ross
he's
the
president,
because
I
know
that
they
they
have
like
a
coaches
meeting
and
we're
there
as
well.
So
we
go
like
we
hit
him
like
two
three
times
and
we
give
our
maps
we
give
other
eating.
We
promote
our
app
for
our
website,
you
know!
So
if
you
don't,
you
want
to
go
to
websites
just
download
our
app
and
you'll
find
restaurants.
B
B
D
B
It's
the
boxing,
the
usc
epoxy,
that's
going
to
be
there
at
the
arena,
so
we
are
about
to
because
that
was
the
most
fun
because
so
we're
gonna.
We
already
we're
gonna
start
sending
out
to
the
hotels
for
those
that
submitted
special
rates
if
they,
if
they
have
a
special
honor
the
same
day
or
if
they
have
new
race.
So
they
can
put
it
in
the
west
and
we're
expecting
a
lot
of
people
just
because
there
hasn't
been
that
many
boxing
tournaments
yeah.
D
B
C
B
B
C
E
E
B
B
B
B
D
B
B
So
I
was
just
talking
to
another
board
member
for
mpi,
which
is
a
media's
professional
international,
but
the
texas
hill
country,
and
she
was
telling
me
we
were
looking
at
the
at
the
membership,
and
we
started
to
see
a
lot
of
the
meeting
planners
that
a
lot
of
people
have
retired
a
resigner.
They
just
got
another
opportunity,
so
they
started
now
being
real,
especially
you
know
going
to
other
industries.
B
B
B
Because
a
lot
of
them
that
turn
around
and
a
lot
of
them,
their
budgets
were
cut,
so
if
they
would
do
four
or
five
events
a
year,
they're
probably
gonna
do
two
and
do
bigger
ones,
so
they
will
affect
probably
the
smaller
markets
medium,
some
modern
markets
like
us,
so
we
are
looking
into
all
that.
That's
why
a
lot
of
the
focus
has
been
in
the
sports.
We
are
going
to
open
a
another
sales
assistant
for
for
sports,
so
we're
really
going
to
be
pushing
the
sports
a
lot,
because
I
think
that
brings
a
lot.
A
A
H
H
Coming
from
different
parts
of
the
of
the
state
about
the
state
from
new
york
up
to
washington,
so
they
enjoyed
our
cities,
one
of
them
that
was
from
new
york
that
we
spoke
to
him.
He
was
very
young,
he
was
30
and
he
said
that
he
really
liked
laredo
and
why
to
stay
here
he
was
doing
his
practice
that
they
think
it
was
a
cardiac.
So
he
was,
he
was
specializing
in
that,
so
he
was
coming
to
texas
and
laredo.
H
They
had
a
lot
of
fun,
they
enjoyed
themselves.
We
took
them
to
you,
know
the
water
museum,
they
did
the
history
tour,
we
showed
them
the
outlets
because
they
were
very
eager
to
shop,
so
they
were
they.
They
were
with
them
the
whole
day,
so
we're
coming
back
with
destination
training.
I
think
it's
a
great
program
to
to.
D
D
H
All
cvp
does
not
like
for,
for
anybody
to
say,
there's
nothing
to
do
in
marina,
so
that's
something
that
we,
it
has
helped
a
lot
of.
Most
of
the
people
that
have
gone
to
dt
prior
to
this
would
end
up
saying
I
mean
at
the
beginning.
It's
always
like.
I
know
everything
I
live
here,
all
my
life
and
that
and
when
the
destination
was
over,
they
usually
say
I
didn't
know.
D
H
D
H
Just
to
stay
the
first
staff
to
be
safe
and
as
well
as
our
right,
you
never
know
yes
and
then
well
we're
actually
finalizing
our
sister
cities
festival
that
will
be
here
next
door
at
the
outlet
and
we're
shooting
for
november
19th
to
the
21st.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
little
smaller
scale.
We
are
aiming
for
100,
exhibitors
and
seeing
how
this
this
new
trend.
If
this
festival
works,
we
might
have
something
every
year.
You
know
prior
to
our
sister
city
sessions,.
E
D
H
E
H
H
D
H
H
E
H
A
H
D
D
B
D
H
F
Good
for
the
city
yeah,
I
just
want
to
comment.
I've
been
speaking
about
this
a
lot,
but
I
think
this
I,
like
the
sister
cities
being
downtown
better.
I
think
it's
more
fitting
and
I
think
it's
a
great
opportunity,
like
I
think
the
real
fiesta
texas
should
be
in
the
radio.
I've
always
said
that
and
downtown
is
a
place
to
do
it.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
to
incorporate
the
local
bars
downtown
too,
to
have
tequila
tastings
to
incorporate
the
mexican
culture
yeah
some.
F
D
F
F
H
Such
a
big
event-
and
we
wanted
to
do
like
a
nightlife
portion
of
it,
and
I
guess
this
is
a
great
opportunity
now
that
we're
moving
it
and
it
might
be,
it
might
be
sister
cities
this
this
november
event.
It
might
just
stay
for
every.
You
know
a
sub
from
sister
city's
festival
in
july,
just
because
it's
so
hot.
B
D
H
H
H
H
Yeah
they
they
they
don't
open.
They
just
open
this
friday.
For
us,
I've
never
been
into.
They
never
have
a
set
hour.
Yesterday
was
the
first
time
that
we
were
doing
destination
training
and
I
think,
from
the
five
years
that
we've
been
hosting
dt.
This
is
the
second
time
is
open
when
we're
we're
hosting
it.
But
I
I
don't.
I
don't
have
you.
H
So,
where
I'm
trying
actually
wanted
to
add
to
the
destination
training
in
the
computer
inside
just
that,
I
haven't
had
like
to
to
have
something
that
could
actually
be
there
to
to
give
the
history
of
the
cathedral
and
and
what
they
I
mean,
does
a
good
job.
But
we
wanted
somebody
from
the
diocese
to
do
so.
You.
E
D
H
E
B
G
So
what
they
did
is
they
just
expanded
on
the
way
the
company
is
growing
more
locations
throughout
texas?
They
got
a
bit
of
the
culture
that
we
have.
They
spoke
to
muralist
santa
gonzalez,
which
is
the
abrasive
mural,
that's
located
behind
the
rianto.
It's
also
got
a
little
bit.
You
know,
if
I,
I
guess
a
funny
twist,
where
they're
doing
the
they
did
a
little
recreation
that
they
planned
on
by
themselves
with
how
the
cowboys
were
cooking
and
they
didn't
know
how,
to
you
know,
utilize
the
food
from
the
command.
G
G
Came
along
and
presented
them,
so
it's
got.
You
know
a
little
comedic
twist
to
it,
but
it's
the
second
time
that
this
production
company
does
come
into
laredo
and
that's
something
that
will
probably
be
featured.
This
fall
and
they
had
a
great
time
even
made
contact
with
the
company
marketing
manager.
F
I
was
in
nashville
a
few
months
ago.
People
are
asking
where
I'm
from
and
there's
there's
one
in
nashville
like
on
west
end
avenue,
which
is
the
main
part
of
main
drag
and
people
are
like.
Oh
yeah,
we
get
the
rate
of
talking
company
all
the
time,
but
I
thought
that
was
really
that
good
there
I'm
like
no
they're
better,
but
it's
a
brand
that
we
really
need
to
embrace
more
because
it
really
does
give
us
an
outreach
in
in
areas
that
people
don't
even
know
where
radio
is
from
or
where
it
is.
G
G
F
G
G
G
D
G
G
G
G
G
B
G
D
G
F
F
F
Little
space,
I'm
sure
we
have
space
down
here,
downtown
we
can
use
or
the
city
has
or
whatever,
but
the
selfie
rooms
are,
are
really
hot
right
now,
and
I
know
they
just
run
one
up
across
there's:
none
in
the
radio
there's
like
a
million
in
san
antonio
austin
and
people
go
there.
Just
if
it's
based
on
the
vibrato
culture,
the
radio
themed
stuff,
maybe
people
will
come
down
and
want
to
participate.
You
know
that
kind
of.

Yes,
we
had
several
influences
from
mexico
and
in
the
u.s
we
make
sure
that
we
do
include
some
murals.
You
know
on
the
tour,
and
you
know
that's
something
that
actually
does
come
out
a
lot
when
you
know,
while
they're
here
and
they're
posting
they'll
get
more
responses
of.
Where
is
that?
Can
I
go?
How
can
I
get
there.
C
D
G
G
Right
now,
in
regards
to
the
vaccinations
that
y'all
were
mentioning
in
mexico,
what
we
are
doing
is
promoting
a
bitter
vaccine
tourism,
where
you
can
go
ahead
and
get
your
flight.
You
know
on
elma
from
tulare
directly
from
mexico
city
get
your
vaccine
have
a
good
time.
You
know
stay
here
at
a
hotel,
enjoy
your
weekend
and
then
go
ahead
and
go
so
that's
something.
That's
also
being
you
know,
really
looked
at
and
taking
advantage
of
on
the
mexican
market,
because
we
do
know
that.
H
D
F
D
D
G
You
know
when,
when
the
production
company
was
here,
united
tacos
of
america,
you
know
he
was
talking
to
sammy.
The
house.
Ramirez
is
lorenzo's,
choco
ambassador,
he
competed
in
you
know
getting
votes
online
and
he
was
the
top
one
who
got
the
ambassador
title
and
they
were
talking
about
the
best
tacos
and
everything
he's
like
it's
not
called
the
dallas
taco
company.
It's
not
called
the
eastern
tower.
G
E
G
But
what
happens
is
that
the
company
doesn't
go
ahead
and
switch
out
until
they
have
another
advertiser,
so
we're
working
on
that
it
might
just
make
us
look
a
little
bad,
but
it's
okay,
yeah
but
other
than
I
mean
other
than
that
we
did
get
a
pr
opportunity
with
texasmonthly.com
we.
I
did
a
little
elevator
pitch
in
regards
to
the
best
tacos
I
mean
the
best
barbecue
in
town
and
hopefully
we'll
go
ahead
and
hear
back
from
them
in
the
next
two
weeks.
But
if
y'all
have
any
other
questions.
A
B
B
So
it
was
a
great
great
exposure
for
us
to
be
there
to
be
in
person
to
show
the
radio
cares,
and
you
know
we're
constantly
promoting
the
golf
course
our
destination,
and
so
the
other
two
was
the
facebook
live.
They
continued
to
doing
outreach
with
that.
That's
been
very
popular,
so
those
were
the
two
things
that
I
wanted
to
buy
from
the
report
manager.
I'm
not
sure
if
you
guys
have
any
questions.
B
C

B

Well,
I
just
encourage
you
to
support
our
non-profits.
You
know
where
they're
having
problems
with
getting
functions
going
on,
there's
ticket
sales
going
on
and
we
you
know
we
support
them
and
and
to
support
to
support
the
nonprofits
and
selena.
Can
I
chat
with
you
after
the
meeting
and
I
have
a
couple
definitely,
but
you
have
to
sit
on
this
side,
so
I
can
my
ear.
