: General Information
:
: About twenty five years ago I was working
: for the City of San Antonio at Market Square
: at which time I asked Little Joe of Little
: Joe & La Familia to perform for free at
: Market Square in order to collect toys for
: needy children of San Antonio. Little Joe
: agreed to perform at no charge on one and
: only one condition, That I would separate
: ten percent of the toys and deliver them to
: Crystal City, Texas for those kids. Needless
: to say, I personally took a truck full of
: toys to Crystal City. Little Joe has been
: rewarded for his good deeds by having an on
: going legenary successful career and
: numerous Grammy Awards Five years ago I was
: involved doing the Cystal City Spinach
: Festival and was approached by Mary Rivera
: of Crystal City, a past mayor, and was asked
: if I would be willing to donate to their
: Christmas toy collection. I said yes and I
: asked her what she needed and she told me
: that MARBLES and JACKS would be great. It
: broke my heart. We collected about fifty
: toys and two bicycles. We have steadily been
: increasing the amount of toys every year to
: include hot dogs, sodas and school supplies
: for four hundred kids and twelve bicycles.
: Actor/comedian Paul Rodriguez donated all
: monies ($1700.00) from sales of his t-shirts
: at a concert in San Antonio. Attorney Nelda
