It’s Friday April 26th. 

It was on this date in 1923 that Cleto Rodriquez was born in San Marcos, Texas.  He was the first Mexican American G.I. to win the Medal of Honor in the South Pacific during World War 2.  Another Texan also earned the Medal of Honor on this date in 1968 when Private First-Class Milton Lee overran enemy positions and provided cover fire for his platoon during the Vietnam War.  He died that day and rests in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

Boerne ISD held its Incubator Pitch Night recently, allowing for students to pitch their business ideas to investors in hopes of earning some cash. In total, $20,000 was awarded to various groups, with first place receiving 9,000 for their idea, Thin Ice. Fold-a-flop took second and was awarded 5,000, while third place was given to MELD at 3,000. 

This past Sunday was Cibolo Creek Community Church’s 14th annual Serving Sunday, which is a day dedicated to serving the community. Cibolo Creek sent out 457 volunteers to 25 different service projects at 15 different organizations around Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch. Activities included painting and landscaping, cleaning, and playing with children, as well as donating blood. The 15th annual Serving Sunday will be April 6th, 2025, but you don’t have to wait until then, start your own this Sunday.
