On Friday, Sept. 20, Quail Creek Republican Club President Shelley Kais welcomed Virginia Staab, U.S. Consul General for the United States Consulate in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico to the Quail Creek Republican Club. During her presentation, Virginia outlined many issues affecting the U.S. relationship with Mexico, her role in representing and protecting U.S. citizens traveling to and from Mexico, and how she has made a difference in representing American values and the American spirit in several overseas assignments as a career diplomat for the U.S. Department of State. Sixty enthusiastic attendees brought their many questions and left the meeting with a better understanding of border issues and challenges.
