Volunteers worked tirelessly the entire day and on through the night manning the phone lines and filling out the official receipts which when tallied at the end of the event surpassed any and all expectations of the Teleton Navideño Committee headed by The Honorable Ramsey English-Cantú, former Sheriff Tom Herrera and his wife Malena, Mr. Barrera’s lovely wife Carolina, Lupita and Armando Gutierrez among others who put on this day long marathon of local entertainment. Isamari Villarreal, Maverick County Tax Assessor Collector was on hand as was CPA Jesus Casas to assist in the financial aspect of the event.
When it was all said and done, the committee was pleased to announce that they had surpassed last year’s total of 73,160.00 by $2,000.00 with a grand total of $75,182.61as they sang Feliz Navidad and thanked the community for their generous support promising to be back next year.
