hello F R O M K R IS T I
The new year is a welcome sight,
and I know 2022 brings with it a wide variety of new friendships, adventures, and exciting times! There are so many things to do in January, and we are thrilled to be a part of them. The first exciting thing on our calendar is the Winter Texan Expo, and we hope you’re already making plans to join us. The 29th annual event, sponsored by South Texas Health System, will be held at the McAllen Convention Center January 18-19. Bring your friends and enjoy a fun day of exploring what the RGV has to offer and the entertainment lineup we have selected for you! There’s no cost to get in, and we will have a number of new exhibitors you will definitely want to see! We have some exciting giveaways and surprises for you, too, so you’ll have to come and see us at the Expo for all the details. It’s a fun party, that’s for sure, and it makes me so happy to be able to provide you with the largest event for Winter Texans in the Rio Grande Valley. We’ve widened the aisles and made plenty of room to wander around, so come on out to the McAllen Convention Center January 18 and 19. See you there! • We’re just connecting the dots,
Kristi

T
he 2022 Winter Texan Expo and Health Fair has been years in the making…most notably the past two years. Like many things, the Expo was put on hold last year, but it’s destined to be as informative and entertaining as ever. Admission is free for the two-day event. Which will take place Tuesday, January 18, and Wednesday, January 19, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. “Winter Texan” might be in the official event title, but all seniors are welcome.
