This is the Great Month of February...Groundhog Day, San Antonio
Rodeo begins on the 11th and goes through the 27th, President Lincoln’s
Birthday, St. Valentine’s Day, President Washington’s Birthday, my
birthday, and this year...Sadie Hawkin’s Day (on the 29th) that occurs
only once every four years, and during my lifetime, the month containing
the most snow days here in S. A. Quite a lot for the shortest month of
the year...but it is always the best month, at least for me...LOL!

TEXAS HISTORY
180 years of
Independence!
On March 2, 1836, the Texas
Declaration of Independence
was adopted in general
convention at Washington on
the Brazos and Villa de Bexar
became known as the city of
San Antonio.

And on March 6, 1836, a 13-
day siege of the Alamo by
Mexican troops led by Santa
Anna ends on this day with a
battle in which all remaining
defenders were killed.
On August 26, 1920, the
19th
Amendment to the

This is written in praise of Bonnie Lewis. You need to be aware that she provides outstanding service to customers even when she is presented a problem that is not one she is required to handle. After calling several Bexar Co. offices who assured me they couldn’t correct an issue I had with my voter registration, I called the Texas Secretary of State Voter Registration Office who couldn’t correct it either. They sent me to your office where I spoke to Bonnie. Although she couldn’t resolve the problem, she gave me several offices to contact, and she was as helpful as she could be given the circumstances. It is refreshing to work with a civil servant like Bonnie Lewis who does not adopt the typical bureaucratic attitude of “this is not my area so I can’t help you.” Please accept my thanks for having such outstanding people as Bonnie Lewis on your staff. Sincerely, Eugene Hickman.
Attorney Tony Diaz says: “Thank you very much, Alice (Gonzales) for helping me and thank Felisa Garza, the young lady that answered the phone, for being so helpful. She had a very good and professional disposition and was very efficient.”
