It’s Friday August 21st. 

If you’re gonna play the game boy, you gotta learn to play it right-solid advice if you're playing poker with the Late Great Kenny Rogers. He was born on this date in 1938 in Houston, TX with #1 hits like The Gambler, Lucille, and Lady. 

I’m Baron Wiley.

After more than two decades serving the City of Boerne, City Secretary Lori Carroll announced her plans to retire in early 2027. She initially joined the team in January of 2003 as assistant to the City Manager, but was promoted to Secretary in 2011. During her tenure, Carroll has attended and documented hundreds of City Council meetings; maintained official City records, minutes, ordinances, and resolutions; coordinated City Council agendas and meeting packets; and ensured required public notices were properly posted. City Manager Ben Thatcher says that she has worked tirelessly over the last 23 years, and has been a key advisor to our mayors and City Council members, making her invaluable to the City of Boerne. 

The City of Boerne’s Code Compliance Department got a shoutout from My Boerne News for helping residents find the resources they need to make improvements to their property. One multigenerational family just west of Downtown Boerne had financial challenges due to medical bills-the family needed a new privacy fence but simply couldn’t afford it. Officer Betty Kwasneski called Hill Country Family Services, who donated money for the supplies, and got help from the United Methodist Army to build it. Boerne Parks Operations Superintendent Rusty Fuller also provided two trucks, two trailers, and a crew of three Parks and Recreation team members. On another project, the UM Army was called to help clean up a property that desperately needed organized. Kwasneski has checked in with the resident every few weeks for several years. 

Scam alert! The Boerne Police Department has recently received calls from community members reporting a scam involving someone pretending to be a Boerne Police Department officer. The caller claims the person has missed jury duty, is facing arrest, and will be taken to jail unless they pay money immediately. Remember that Boerne PD will  never ask for money over the phone-please don’t give these scammers any information and hang up as soon as possible. 

And if you’d rather spend Friday night outdoors, Boerne Parks and Recreation hosts Yoga in the Park from 6 until 7 tonight.

The Cibolo also hosts an adult night hike beginning at 8, exploring the trails and wildlife after dark.
