Silent Auction Success
First things first, we have to give a massive shout-out to everyone who contributed to our silent auction. Your generosity helped us raise nearly $4,000, reinforcing our community's commitment to this cause. A very special thanks to the hardworking volunteers who stepped up to make the auction a success. We do have plans for the unsold items so stay tuned!

The TCEQ Public Meeting was a powerful tribute to our community's unity and determination.

It's very heartwarming, and we just wanted to shout out a big thank you to everyone who stood up and fought for the well-being of our community. You guys are the real heroes!
