Our Mild Climate
Leave your snow shovel behind. You will not have to worry about the snow
in central Texas. About once every six or seven years we may get 1/2
inch of snow and it melts quickly. You don't need to worry about ice
either. The lakes and rivers never freeze over. The lakes have a
tendency to stabilize the temperature, and homes close to the lake can
experience temperatures up to 5 degrees warmer than surrounding areas in
the winter. The daytime temperatures in December and January are usually
in the 50s to 70s depending on which way the breeze is blowing. Winter
Texans love our winter climate.
Inexpensive Living
You will find the prices in our area to be reasonable. We do not take
advantage of tourists here. You will be paying the same low prices as
the locals. Our auto gas prices are usually about 20 cents cheaper than
other areas of the country. Eating in our restaurants is very
reasonable. You can expect reasonable prices in renting a cabin, condo
or house for the winter. Winter Texans receive much cheaper rental
prices in the winter than the summer prices for the same properties.
Friendly People
You have heard of "Southern Hospitality", haven't you? Southern
Hospitality is a reality in central and south Texas. The people here are
friendly! As you are driving down the highway, don't be surprised if
people wave at you. This is a popular retirement area and people have
moved here from all over the country. It seems like just about everyone
is from somewhere else. No one is a stranger here! You will find events
and potlucks put on by the local towns for the Winter Texans. You are
welcome here!
Each year, thousands of retirement-age visitors spend
anywhere from one to six months in the Lone Star State. This group of
part-time residents has come to be known as Winter Texans. Over the
years, a number of small towns across Texas, who rely heavily on the
business the Winter Texans bring, have begun catering to this winter
crowd.

Winter Texans are generous of heart and donate many
hours of their time to making the quality of life for Valley residents
and many along the border in Mexico better. Volunteers build houses,
work in libraries and hospitals, and provide their services as nature
guides in many of the parks and refuges located in the Valley. The value
of these services if paid for would be well into the millions.
There are few places more tropical in the continental
United States than the lush Rio Grande Valley of deep South Texas. The
call of the tropics are almost too much to resist. And why would you
want to resist?
With abundant culture, warm climate, tropical beauty
and delicious Rio Grande Valley fruit (oranges and grapefruit to die
for!), the region is spotted with a myriad assortment of small towns and
cities full of South Texas charm and down-home hospitality.
The hub communities of McAllen, Brownsville, South Padre Island and
Harlingen provide ample shopping, the opportunity to enjoy art, culture
and history, and many attractions that can be enjoyed year-round. With
warm summers and mild winters, the area plays host to thousands of
Winter Texans who have made the region their "home away from home" - or
their second home - for several months each year.
Dotted across the region (bordered by Mexico to the West and the Gulf of
Mexico to the East) are hundreds of RV parks, resorts and campgrounds,
each providing varying levels of service for recreational travelers and
Winter Texans.
While many types of wildlife are abundant in the region, bird watching,
or birding, is one of the most popular and easiest in which to
participate. Birders from around the world flock to the region annually
to enjoy such events as the Brownsville International Birding Festival,
or to enjoy the State-designated Texas Birding Trail. Literally
thousands of species of birds frequent the area, or nest in the near
perfect subtropical climate of the Lower Valley.
Lying just above the same latitude as the Florida Keys, winter
temperatures are mild with an average low of 51 degrees. The 330 day
growing period makes the area a major producer of truck crops,
particularly citrus products. Orange and Grapefruit orchards line the
highways of the Valley.
Discover The Island
Along the eastern boundary of what is known as the Lower Rio Grande
Valley is South Padre Island, a resort community located on the tip of
Texas' great barrier islands - South Padre, the southernmost tip of the
United States. Five miles long on a 35-mile long stretch of sand dunes
and palm trees, the island is situated about two miles offshore,
separated from the mainline by the great Laguna Madre - a natural bay
formed by the far-reaching island that skirts up the coast to Port
Mansfield.
Port Isabel, an historic Texas port, is connected to the island by
causeway, and offers the perfect coastal setting for mainlanders who
still want to be on the water

- Why be a Volunteer
It's not for money, it's not for fame,
It's not for personal gain.
It's not just for love of fellow man,
It's just to reach out with a helping hand.
It's just to give a little of self,
That's something that can't be bought with wealth,
It's not for medals worn with pride,
It's more of a feeling you hold inside.
It's that reward deep within your heart,
It's feeling that you have a part of helping
others far and near-
That's what makes you a volunteer.
