What a Saturday for the birds. 💚
Author and Texas birding legend David Sarkozi joined us to share the stories behind Birds of Texas — including what didn’t make the guide. It was fascinating, funny, and full of insight. 🦆
Earlier that morning, David and William Farley led a wonderful walk Edinburg Scenic Wetlands & World Birding Center, reminding us just how special our Valley birds truly are. 🌿
Thank you to everyone who came out. We’re grateful for this community and the passion you bring to conservation. 🐦

CineSol Film Festival mourns the loss of our founder, Evy Ledesma Galan. A visionary whose heart, passion, and belief in storytelling brought this festival to life.
Evy Ledesma Galan founded the CineSol Latino Film Festival in 1993. She worked out of her family home, making phone calls and inviting people she only knew by reputation. And they came! Evy, along with the board, would rack up long distance phone bills and film projector rental fees. She was able to get films, projectors, directors, and movie stars! All from her home in Harlingen. And pre-internet!
As our mission statement says: "we celebrate achievement in the art of filmmaking. CineSol is dedicated to furthering the art, craft and business of screenwriters and filmmakers and recognizing their artistic contributions." Evy believed in that dream. She felt the Rio Grande Valley needed an outlet or showcase for independent Latino films.
It was Evy who provided the Texas Border Region with its first film festival ever, including cultural art events in Matamoros and Reynosa. CineSol has traveled throughout the border region, by having the film festival in South Padre Island, Harlingen, Edinburg, McAllen, Mission, and Brownsville. She was festival director from 1993-2003.
It was through CineSol Latino Film Festival that she met filmmaker Hector Galan, who eventually became the love of her life.
CineSol was never just about films; it was about people, culture, and the shared experience of seeing ourselves reflected on screen. Through tireless dedication and deep love for the art of cinema, Evy created a space where Latino voices were uplifted, Latino stories were honored, and a film community was formed. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in every frame projected, every filmmaker encouraged, and every audience member moved.
Evy Ledesma Galan, a true champion of latino culture, film, and artists. Thank you for the vision, the heart, and the stories. Your legacy lives on through the film festival and community you created.
We are deeply grateful for all she gave and will carry her legacy forward. Rest in peace. 🎬

Grateful for Water
On Exhibit at the IMAS
January 14 - April 26, 2026
The Grateful for Water art contest is an annual initiative hosted by McAllen Public Utility’s Water Education Team, designed specifically for high school students who live in McAllen. The contest encourages students to explore the value of water in their daily lives, reflecting on its importance in our community, environment, and future. Participants are challenged to express their creativity while considering the role water plays in sustaining life and the responsibility we all share to conserve this vital resource.
2025 marked the third year of MPU hosting this contest, which featured an impressive array of paintings and drawings from students across the city. The theme this past year was “Clean Water, Clean Future.” Each piece highlights water and its beauty, significance, and the importance of smart water usage, offering unique perspectives and creative interpretations of the theme. The students’ artwork provides viewers with an engaging and meaningful visual experience.
The winning and participating artworks are proudly displayed in this exhibit as a celebration of creativity, education, and environmental stewardship. Through this contest, McAllen Public Utility aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for water among our city’s youth and encourage them to become thoughtful stewards of this essential resource. We are grateful to all the students who participated and hope their work motivates the community to reflect on the importance of water in daily life.
