In 2019, the City of San Antonio reported that 18% of local residents do not have a high school equivalency. This is almost double the national rate of 9.9%. we have much work to do! Those without a GED are at risk of living in poverty.

Thankfully, GED classes through community programs at the Alamo Colleges serve over 700 GED students each year. Since 2008 this group has made it our priority to help those students.

This year, we are excited to welcome as our honoree, Fabian Castillo, Sr. Our committee is incredibly grateful that he will be joining us to be recognized. He has been a fervent support of
education in our community through the Rey Feo organization and has a unique story of success that will surely inspire us all.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students in our community.

It's finally here! ...
"The Ballad of Roy Benavidez."

This truly was a labor of love. We can't thank, author and friend, William Sturkey, enough for his time (about 7 years of research), commitment and dedication towards this book.

For those who'd like to meet him, he'll be in El Campo July 1st for a meet and greet, as well as a Q&A about this book.

I can't wait to read this amazing book on dad!!!!
