Amigos Give Back
Aug 18, 2010
The heat this summer hasn't
kept the Amigos from getting out and giving back. In August, the Amigos
participated in a Red Cross Blood Drive, got "locked up" to help the
Muscular Dystrophy Association, canoed in the famed Riverwalk for the annual
Boy Scouts Canoe Race, and will support Paseo Del Rio's first annual Lucky Duck
Race to benefit Haven for Hope.

The Palm to honor Centro San Antonio Amigos in celebration of National Tourism Week
May 10, 2010
In
celebration of National Tourism Week, The Palm San Antonio will host the Centro
San Antonio Amigos for lunch in appreciation of their dedication to making
downtown a friendly destination for guests from near and far. While the Amigos are
invited to dine al fresco, they will be looked over by not only The Palm’s
attentive staff but the smiling “faces” of San Antonio’s leading businessmen,
politicians and celebrities whose caricatures line the restaurant’s famed
walls. Often called “the face of San
Antonio,” themselves, the workforce of more than 65
Amigos provide a host of services that improve downtown through the Ambassador,
Streetscaping, and Maintenance programs.

Feb 8, 2010
For at least 30 years, San Antonio has been vexed by a frustrating
problem: The river that runs through the heart of the city has
flourished with development, much of it aimed at tourists, while
efforts to attract retail spaces, housing and offices to the street
level have largely failed.
