QUARTERLY TAMACC MEETING
The DRHCC was represented at the TAMACC Quarterly meeting by Ms Dora Alcala, Education Director and Ms Otila Gonzalez, Immediate Past President of the DRHCC. The organization met in Corpus Christi, Texas June 14-15.
On Friday June 14 the sessions consisted of presentations of business practices by Corpus Christi’sDowntown Management District Director Alyssa Barrera Mason who shared how her organization has worked to revitalize downtown Corpus. The Military task force and Corpus Christi Army Depot presented how they work with the United Corpus Christi C f C to benefit the city. The group also heard from the Port Authority and how it impacts the city.
The Saturday session convened on the USS Lexington for the Board of Directors’ meeting. Reports from members of the Board included welcoming the new Hayes County chapter as new members of TAMACC ,report on the legislative session, the importance of Census 2020, the effects of US Tariffs on Mexico, to name a few.
Realizing how relations between the US and Mexico affect the economy of both countries, the group proposed that a meeting be held in Mexico City in October and for member chambers to recruit City officials and business enterprises to attend. There will be more information on this proposal later.

OFFICIAL DEDICATION AND RIBBON CUTTING
OF THE BARRIO SAN FELIPE ARCH
The pride of San Felipe was present through the smiles, tears and cheers during the official Ribbon cutting. The Arch is the first official project of the United San Felipe Organization which was formalized when Board Chairman Eloy Padilla gifted the Arch to the City of Del Rio. A Proclamation receiving the Arch was read by Mayor Bruno “Ralphy” Lozano. As the Rayo Del Sol youth Mariachi entertained, Dr. Velma Villejas lead the crowd in the San Felipe Alma Mater school song and Dr. Blandina “Bambi” Cardenas recounted memories eliciting cheers and laughter, as many of us recalled walking from our beloved Barrio de “SanFe” (as we lovingly refer to with pride) to the “Downtown” area to shop, go to the movies at the Rita Theatre, or attend Sacred Heart Academy. It was so appropriate that our two Chambers of Commerce (Del Rio Chamber and Del Rio Hispanic Chambers) united to official cut the ribbon that opens the gate to our beloved Barrio and dedicates the Arch which will be maintained as one of our official City of Del Rio parks.
