Aladdin Pop Tabs Pic webThere’s never a wrong time to support a cause and this summer, residents at Aladdin Villas found a charity to connect with. Earlier this summer, Tom Hollan from Aladdin Villas wanted to give back to the Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC), but he sought a local chapter. Previously, residents would collect pop tabs and make monetary donations but would return the donations to a chapter up north.

“I knew Ronald McDonald House Charities collected pop tabs, and when I took over the operations, I researched where they actually went, and I wanted to help local kids,” said Tom Hollan.

Senior Baseball Brower webIt’s senior slow pitch softball time again in the RGV. The RGV (previously Ed Marten’s) Senior Texan Softball League is back for its 31st year. The league is open to all local Texans as well as Winter Texan senior men and women aged 55 years and older. The youngest player last year was 57 and the most experienced player was 85. Last year over 110 seniors played in the league and this year they hope to top that.

Maybe you can’t run as fast as you could 20 or 30 years ago. Maybe you can’t throw and catch like you once did, but it really doesn’t matter. A few of the past new players have never even played softball before, but it didn’t matter. The league has two different divisions for the senior men and women players that are based on individual skill levels, and not on age. Maybe you don’t have a glove or bat anymore? No problem, the league has equipment they will loan you.
