Paint The Town Needs Parents

On Wednesday, July 8, 2009, over 35 dedicated volunteers tackled the muggy morning heat and painted over unsightly graffiti in the downtown area.

Sheriff Deputy Maria Cruz was among the adults assisting with Paint The Town's weekly activity which took the group to several alleys and businesses in the downtown area.

Deputy Cruz urges parents to stay connected with their teenagers by spending quality time with them in something they already enjoy doing which also helps with the quality of life for residents of Maverick County.

The staff of County Commissioner Eliza Maldonado played an integral part and prevailed in getting some volunteers to assist with clean-up duties. Volunteers meet every Wednesday morning 9:30 a.m at the parking lot of EPISD's Parent Center on Del Rio Blvd, their phone number is 758-7163. People interested in donating food and much needed paint supplies can contact U.S. Border Patrol agent Erika Rodriguez at 752-3066 or Diana L. Sanchez at 757-0117.
