Thank you for listening to the inaugural episode of the HECHO Corpus Christi podcast, the podcast that features Corpus Christi's creators, makers, doers, and builders! Our guest is Monica Sawyer. We recorded our visit on the stage in one of Corpus Christi’s landmarks, which Monica will talk about in more detail during the conversation. Monica co-founded the Que Bueno Taco Fest, and she’s the proprietor of McLeod Creative. She is the board president of CC PATCH, which is the non-profit in charge of revitalizing the Ritz Theatre in downtown. Monica publishes The One Bride Guide and she’s the developer of the VP Wedding Planner app. Monica is MonicaMSawyer on Facebook and KeepItEssential on Instagram. In this episode, Monica and I discuss an opportunity for the community to come alongside the Ritz Theatre by helping the Theatre earn a $100,000 matching grant from the Tax Increment Refinancing Zone (TIRZ) Board. I know you’ll enjoy hearing Monica talk about all the exciting things she’s involved in here in Corpus.
