55 years later…I think we’ve survived…thanks to the Hippies… 

Early Voting stars today…in Boerne the place to go is Kendall County Annex on Fawn Valley Drive across from the Boerne High Baseball field.

The Boerne Star interviewed the six candidates running for City Council in Fair Oaks, and here are some of the highlights from their story published over the weekend. When asked about the proposed City Center that is close to development, candidates Rose, Ross and Cox were against it, Parker and Olvera were weighing the pros and cons, and Pearson was firmly for it. The candidates were also asked how they would work to preserve the serene feel of the community despite it’s continued growth, as well as transportation and traffic concerns.  You can subscribe to the Boerne Star at boernestar.com where a digital subscription is just .66cents an issue.

The City of Boerne’s Code Compliance and Planning & Permitting Departments are teaming up to host a Peanut Butter drive now through April 30th for the Blessings in a Backpack Program, which provides weekend meals for more than 600 Boerne kids who rely on school provided lunches during the week. You can drop off your jars in the Peanut Butter Drive Box located in the 1st and 2nd floor lobbies at City Hall.  

And when you go, salute the new Boerne City flag on the flag pole that debuted yesterday - thanks for the scoop from the Boerne Life. 

Spring Cleaning is in full effect…WM, who is responsible for bulky trash pickup, has notified Boerne Utilities that there were some delays last week with their scheduled collection. Crews will continue this week to pick them up. You can still put your trash and recycling out on your normal day despite this hiccup, and everything should be collected by the end of the week.
