RIO GRANDE VALLEY REGION
Jamie Ochoa - President
Our quarterly meeting was held in San Juan Feb. 3 at the Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan Del Valle-National Shrine. Representatives from all over the Rio Grande Valley comprise the membership of the Texas Burglar Fire Alarm Association including RGV President Luis Ortega, the Texas Association of Licensed Investigators, Inc., George Aguilar, and the Texas Locksmith Association, legislative committee member Edward Padron. Also in attendance was Bob Burt, ASSIST state president.
A special thanks goes out to each of them for attending and forming new alliances that serve to unite and strengthen our profession.
RGV ASSIST extends a sincere thanks to San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez for allowing us access to the police range for our April shooting tournament. In addition, thanks to Esteban Martinez III and Basilica of Our Lady of San Juan Del Valle-National Shrine for coordinating the event and sponsoring the meals. Lastly, thank you one and all for your assistance and participation in this event.
Special acknowledgement and gratitude go out to attorney Frank E. Perez of Frank E. Perez and Associates, for donating his parking lot for an RGV ASSIST Fundraiser. This generous donation allowed RGV ASSIST to procure over $4,000 which enabled this association to develop professional training and provide charitable donations to the community as well. During these challenging economic times, it is especially noteworthy and encouraging to be able to count on professionals such as Frank E. Perez who are always ready and willing to give back to their community.
In addition, a special thanks goes out to Dan Flores and his crew for providing the manpower used at the location.
An invitation is extended to anyone who would like to attend our next RGV ASSIST meeting. It will be held May 5 at 11:30 a.m. at the Long Horn Cattle Company, W Expy 83, San Benito, (956) 399-4400.
