Awards, Friends, Music, and Fun

Yes its the annual City of Edinburg Employee Christmas party and service awards banquet. There was not an empty table in the Activity Center Saturday night. I was pleased to see our employees come out to celebrate another year gone by with their peers. Awards were given out to five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty five, and thirty year employees. I have to say our Christmas committee did an outstanding job in preparing the center for this special night. Mayor Garcia and I had the pleasure in presenting these awards to the hard working, and loyal employees of this great city. During the event there was over sixty door prizes given to the lucky winners. Let me say thank you to the local merchants who donated the prizes. Oh, by the way did I mention the food was great!! I was joined at my table by my brother and his wife, and my compadre David "Jello" Garza and his wife. I tried to make my rounds to thank all the employees for their service with a hand shake and a pat on the back. To those that I may have missed, THANK YOU, for ALL that you do! After all the eats and awards it was time for some great music and dancing. I left the party in good hands of our dedicated employees around 11:00 for some coffee and menudo. For those of you employees that did get to make it, you missed another great party!
