Casa de Palmas, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
On Wednesday, December 10th, 2025, our team here at Casa de Palmas, Trademark Collection by Wyndham, had the most heart-warming experience working together to support children in our Rio Grande Valley community. We collected hundreds of toys for the wonderful children at Casa Mami Orphanage, the Vannie Cook Children’s Cancer Clinic, and Proyecto Desarrollo Humano. Thanks to these incredible organizations, many deserving children will now receive a special gift this Christmas. It was our pleasure and privilege to join with our community partners—including Debi Lou Modeling Academy—to give back to our neighbors and local families in need. We are deeply grateful for the opportunity to support, participate in, and contribute to such meaningful efforts. From our Casa de Palmas, Trademark Collection by Wyndham Hotel family to yours, thank you—and Merry Christmas to all! #givingbacktothecommunity #christmas2025 #Christmas #childrenatchristmas

McAllen Public Library
😆 We are celebrating another year in our home at 4001 North 23rd Street in McAllen and… whaaaat. 14 years already? After 60 years in our downtown McAllen location at 601 North Main Street, the Old Main Library closed its doors on November 23, 2011. Ready for a new home, a new look, and a new direction, McAllen Public Library relocated to its current location in December 2011. Now an award winning public library, our Main Library spans 123,000 square feet and is the largest single floor public library in the nation. 14 years in, and this building still feels like the perfect place for our community to read, learn, gather, and grow. Thanks for helping us make this space feel like home year after year.

Rio Grande Valley Memorial VFW Post 8788
Pearl Harbor Day 🇺🇸 | December 7, 1941 Tomorrow, we pause to Honor the Americans whose lives were forever changed on this day 84 years ago. A quiet Sunday morning turned into one of the darkest moments in our nation’s history and one of the greatest displays of courage the world has ever seen. 2,403 Americans were killed. Hundreds more were wounded. And countless families received news that shattered their world. But amid the smoke, chaos, and fear, ordinary men and women showed extraordinary bravery. Sailors fought through fire. Medics risked their lives to pull others to safety. Service members stood their ground, not knowing if help would arrive in time. This is the legacy we remember today. Not just the attack, but the sacrifice, the valor, and the resilience of those who stood firm when the world changed around them. To the Heroes we lost, and to the families who still carry their memory: We see you. We Honor you. We will never forget. Let us live each day with the gratitude their sacrifice deserves.

Anime Boom
📢 It's been a blast & we will miss you! Three years ago, we took a chance on a bigger location at 4619 N 10th St. Boba was booming, and Anime was growing fast. But times have changed. The Valley went from just a handful of boba shops to many. Then came tariffs, inflation, and tighter wallets. We get it - boba and collectibles might not be at the top of everyone’s list anymore and with our lease ending and business slowing down, we’ve made the tough call to close our doors. Our last day will be Saturday, December 6th. 🎁 To say thanks: We will be having a sale during our final week. Any drink, any size (16oz or 24oz), just $5! Come and enjoy one last drink under our Sailor Moon, Naruto & Goku Murals. 🧋 Boba Bomb isn’t done, we’ll still pop up at Anime Fiesta, South Texas Comic Con, All Star Card Show and other local events and we’re hyped to launch our new food/beverage truck in early 2026. This isn’t goodbye, It’s see you later. So what about Anime Boom you ask? 🎉 Anime Boom will return to it's original location at 801 Pecan Blvd in McAllen on Dec 8. ❤️ Thank you for the love, the laughs, and the loyalty. #AnimeBoom #BobaBomb #McAllenTX #RGVAnime #FinalWeek #NewChapter

****Update, cutoff date for our region is 11/28/25 Please consider sponsoring a wreath**** Hello members and friends! As you may know the Wreaths Across America events will be on Saturday December 13 2025 across our great land. Right here in the RGV, we have the Rio Grande Valley State Veterans Cemetery and they could use your help. The goal is 4400 wreaths and last year they were about 400 wreaths short We don't want that to happen again! For every $17 wreath you sponsor through ALA Loyal Service Unit 37 McAllen, Texas, an additional $5 will go towards the purchase of another wreath Please consider sponsoring a wreath (or more) and making sure that every single veteran here in the RGV State cemetery, receives a wreath and the honor they so rightly deserve. Thank you for your support! https://www.wreathsacrossamerica.org/pages/189968/Overview/?relatedId=174411&fbclid=IwdGRjcAOMJKFjbGNrA4wkkWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHNydGMGYXBwX2lkDDM1MDY4NTUzMTcyOAABHqJxklpljBsU3iaaLf4EvFa7CtqohRzQl5JnuNIfRhp41w1LLxr0jB1WQkR3_aem_zu2jUx2Kkk4j4QJrTUtOgA

UPDATE: so it looks like CGC has capped the Todd McFarlane signing. Which is unfortunate considering they had the deadline until December 3rd and they haven’t made any public announcement. The Todd McFarlane signing isn’t an option to be added on the website anymore so we have no choice but to think that it’s capped. We’ve sent them messages earlier this week and haven’t gotten a response but it seems to be an issue with everyone. We apologize for this inconvenience. Due to our large amount of submissions, we were able to get in a good amount sent out but a few weren’t able to make the cut unfortunately, and those customers were already contacted to get a refund or credit (your choice). This has never happened before so it’s a bit new to us that they capped submissions and haven’t made any public announcement nor respond to our messages. They did recently make a post with upcoming deadlines and McFarlane’s is no longer listed. Just strange that they haven’t said anything specifically about the McFarlane signing considering how high in demand it is. If anything gets updated, or if it reopens, we will let you all know. Thank you guys for your understanding.
