It’s Monday, January 19th

And it’s Martin Luther King Day which is a Federal Holiday…it honors Dr. King in the month of his birthday which was January 15th born in 1929.  Stevie Wonders song Happy Birthday in 1980 helped play a part in Martin Luther King Day in becoming a law in 1983, and first observed in 1986. 

Also celebrating today in Boerne I see it’s Racene Feller’s Birthday…also a happy belated to Shawn Lovern of the Lovern Law Firm who celebrated yesterday along with Realtor Queen Susan Friar.

Boerne Cemetery is about to see some long-term improvements aimed at safety and preservation. Beginning this Spring, City crews will conduct a comprehensive assessment and inventory of every headstone in the cemetery.  The initial phase will focus on markers that need to be leveled or resecured for safety reasons, including trees affected by oak wilt. The city will also be enforcing existing ordinances that regulate items left at gravesites.  Once the initial inventory is complete, crews will begin adding a monthly collection day for all unauthorized items.

And a quick reminder as it’s Martin Luther King Day - all government offices and services are closed today, including the banks and the chamber.  Your Greater Boerne Chamber of Commerce is back tomorrow with a ribbon cutting at 1:30 for Stahl Medical.  On Wednesday they’ll be at the Sisterdale Volunteer Fire Department celebrating 50 years of service. And then on Thursday at 11:30 they are cutting one more at the Chamber for Blueprint Therapy Services.
