Palms M & M: The Premier Banquet/Meeting Facility in Galveston!

Palms M & M opened its doors in 2004 in one of the oldest structures standing in Galveston.  This newly renovated banquet/meeting facility is set in a building that has a history going back to 1844 when it was purchased for $500.00.  Since then, M & M has been everything from a grocery store, to a city detective's office, to a tobacco store, to a saloon.  It even survived the 1900 storm!

Marita Hlavaty, the event planner for Palms M & M is dedicated to helping make any event a success.  The facility can accommodate up to 120 people, and there is also a large deck in the back that can seat 40-60 people.  They also boast a 25 foot bar built by a local craftsman in 1933 that can seat up to 16 people.  Palms M & M can plan your entire event from food & beverage, flowers, photography and more.  For more information, visit their website at www.palmsmm.com

Texas POS Tree After Being Hit by Lightening
On August 8, a tree directly in front of our office here at Texas P.O.S. was struck by lightening.  The lightening caused damage to parts of our server.

As it is with your restaurant, it is important that we maintain and protect our computer equipment with appropriate power conditioning.  With the use of conditioners in our office, we were able to save the exchange server, the internet server, all data, and every personal computer in the office.  Although we sustained damage to our router and network card, the cost of replacing these is nominal compared to replacing thousands of dollars worth of equipment and priceless vital data. For more information on power conditioning, Click for Article on Power Conditioning.

Please contact Texas P.O.S. if you feel your equipment is not properly protected.
