What an amazing evening we had at the 4th Annual Walk the Dock this Tuesday. We printed 400 cards for people to pick up and visit Chamber members at Sea Ranch Marina. As they visited the businesses, they got there cards stamped and dropped them in the box to be eligible for awesome raffle prizes. Guess what ... 400 tickets printed, and WE RAN OUT, and we then started using left over flyers we had with us! Guess that means we had OVER 425 people in attendance this year. 333 stayed until 7:00 pm for the raffle prizes. That is a BIG increase over previous years. Thank you to the Chamber members that participated in this years event, and to our law enforcement agencies that joined us. A big thank you to staff member Beverley Eymard and the Chamber’s Island Ambassadors for coordinating the event, and Island Ambassadors on hand tonight to assist - Jim Enholm, Cristin Howard, Elaine English, JoAnn Evans, Lisa Graves, and Mark Haggenmiller. And of course, thank you to the over 425 people that attended. Now you know Sea Ranch Marina has many wonderful things to offer and we hope you will take advantage of their services.

Great turnout this Thursday morning, and great information, at the SPI Chamber of Commerce’s Coffee and Conversation with guest speakers from the Laguna Madre Water District. Water District staff, engineers and board members spoke regarding the upcoming May 2020 Bond Election. They are making numerous presentations throughout the community to get the word out regarding the bond election and why it is important. If you have not attended one of the presentations contact them to find out where the next one will be, go to their website at www.lmwd.org or give them a call. Did you know they have a Watersmart Portal app? A snapshot of the brochure is included in the photos. Download it today and take charge of your water use! Thank you to everyone that attended today, and to the speakers. A big thank you also to Mark Haggenmiller and his great team at Padre Island Brewing for hosting, and Karla Scimeca with Karla’s Katering for the pastries. See you on April 9th for the next Coffee and Conversation with the Texas Attorney General’s Office.

Beginning Saturday, Feb. 29, 2020, the South Padre Island Police Department will join more than 300 law enforcement agencies across Texas for a Statewide Warrant Roundup to collect debt owed on outstanding warrants.

If individuals are experiencing hardship and unable to pay, contact the court to discuss options that may be available.
