2nd Annual Youth Volleyball Camp at Lark was a huge success this past weekend! 🏐🔥 We’re so grateful to the amazing athletes from the UTRGV Vaqueros women's volleyball who came out to support, mentor, and inspire our campers. Your energy and leadership made all the difference! From learning the fundamentals of bumping, setting, and spiking to building confidence on the court, our campers brought the hustle all weekend long. 💪 Thank you to everyone who joined us and made our 2nd annual camp one to remember. We can’t wait to see you next year! 🖤🏐 #YouthVolleyball #VolleyballCamp #LarkSports

We’re reaching out on behalf of our brother, friend, and coworker Mikey Ray Mikey is a 24-year-old student at UTRGV, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, and truly one of the best humans you could know. He’s someone who always shows up—especially for kids during Christmas time—helping collect and distribute toys to families in need. If you’ve ever come across his content, you know him for his enthusiasm, charisma, and nonstop energy, whether it’s tattoo culture, Harley-Davidson motorcycles, or simply spreading good vibes. Mikey is currently in critical but stable condition following a serious motorcycle accident. He has several major surgeries ahead of him, including facial reconstruction surgery. By the grace of God and the protection of his riding gear, he is still here with us today—and we’re holding onto that hope with everything we have. To help support Mikey and ease the financial burden of medical and recovery expenses, we will be hosting the following benefit events: •Tattoo and Piercing Sale (Flyer to come soon) 📅 February 2nd-8th 📍Diamante Body Piercing & Tattoo 2313 W Harvey Ave #7 McAllen, TX 78501 $10 from each sale to go towards Mikey Rays fund • BBQ Plate Sale 📅 February 21st 📍 Desperado Harley-Davidson 1201 S Bentsen Rd, McAllen, TX 78501 All proceeds to benefit Mikey Ray How to Donate For those who would like to make a monetary donation, donations can be dropped off at: 📍 Diamante Body Piercing & Tattoo - McAllen 2313 W Harvey Ave #7 McAllen, TX 78501 🧾 Checks may be made payable to: Mickey Ray Guevara Any support—whether attending, sharing this message, or donating—means more than words can express. This is our opportunity to show up for someone who has always shown up for others. Thank you for keeping Mikey in your prayers and for standing with us during this time. 🤍

Full circle moments hit different ☕️✨ Years ago, when Chef Marcel owned the McAllen Culinary School, Michelle was a student in one of his cooking classes. She was already a skilled home cook, but lessons like proper knife technique and how to julienne a bell pepper became lifelong foundations—ones that would eventually shape Reserva’s food program. Fast forward to 2026, and now we get to share our coffee knowledge with his class. We recently hosted the UTRGV College of Hospitality & Tourism’s Beverage Appreciation students at Reserva Roastery, walking them through coffee from bean to cup and how to discern coffee preferences from guest to guest. Fun fact: students in this class get exclusive access to the Reserva’s Roastery 👀 Huge thank you to Chef Marcel and his students for the great energy, curiosity, and years of friendship along the cook’s way 🤍
