"I have always been treated kindly here, including when I addressed the chamber before the 2012 season began."

"To me, this is a personal invitation to my friends and acquaintences in Los Fresnos,' said WhiteWings Community Relations Director Jerry Deal. "This is a special place to me and I have a close relationship with many people," said Deal, who operated a newspaper here for more than three years and has since been greatly involved in working for the Los Fresnos News.

It is because of his relationships that he selected Los Fresnos to be the first of seven communitiy areas to be cited at the special nights during the season, Deal said.
