Welcome In
the spirit of Thanksgiving, I’d like to say thank you, not only for choosing the Rio Grande Valley as your home away from home but for also being such a gracious, fun group. Your energy and enthusiasm for life bring joy to our office every day. At Welcome Home, RGV we are thankful for a wonderful work environment and a terrific audience. (That would be YOU!) If you didn’t know, I started this business in 2008. People say when one door closes, another opens. I lost my ‘real’ job in October of 2007 and wasn’t exactly sure what I was going to do. Luckily, I had a side business printing those coupon books many of you remember. I hit the streets and tried to convince as many of you as possible to purchase one! One thing led to another, and Welcome Home, RGV was born. Fast forward nearly eight years, and the staff of one has turned to a staff of 10! I’m so thankful for all of your kind words, suggestions, and lessons along the way. We are able to do what we do for you because of you. Not a day goes by that we don’t stop to appreciate all you do. Your presence allows us the opportunity to work with a great group of like-minded people who make work fun. Happy Thanksgiving! Know that all of us at Welcome Home, RGV are thankful for you! • We’re just connecting the dots,
