RJ Mitte Instagram – This past Tuesday my family foundation was honored for all the charitable work we have done in the Cameron county community with a formal proclamation. Thank you commissioners so much for the recognition of our hard work and devotion to Texas and the RGV. We are excited for future and positive growth for our communities!
