Cruz Maintenance and Construction recognized by Gov. Abbott
Juan A. Navejar Jr.
CORPUS CHRISTI - Cruz Maintenance and Construction was recognized by Texas Governor John Abbott as part of the Governor's Small Business Forums, sponsored by the Texas Governor’s Office, the Texas Workforce Commission, and local partners, are designed to give entrepreneurs and small businesses valuable tools, skills, and knowledge needed to thrive in today’s fast-paced economy.
The largest economic impact to Texas has been the Eagle Ford Shale. The shale play boomed for a couple of years causing small towns in its footprint to rethink, rebuild and resurge life in these communities.
August is here and before long our kids will be back in school. So it’s time to get them ready with clothing and supplies. The Chamber encourages you to shop locally and visit our members for you back to school needs. Take advantage of the Tax Free Holiday.
Executive Director's Message
Juan A. Navejar Jr.
It’s tax free weekend and soon everyone will be back to school. For some like my son, school begins this coming week. This means last minute shopping for clothing, supplies and other miscellaneous things that come with sending children back to school.

Better Business Bureau
In a society ruled by communication and technology, social media is King. Given the active role it plays in our everyday lives, it is safe to assume it is here to stay. Even businesses are turning to social networking as a way to connect with consumers and other professionals. But, is sharing always caring?

Tourism Tidbits
Last month we examined the “inbound side” of youth tourism. That is, positive steps and actions that locations need to do to keep the youth market safe. This month we examine the other side of the coin, what we can do to teach students and young people, who are traveling abroad what they can do to stay out of trouble and to improve their safety. In the case of minors traveling abroad, or young adults in general, these lessons are also important for parents and legal guardians.
