Boost Boerne Business - Boys and Girls Club

It’s Friday March 13th.

 

And if today is your birthday, you share it with María del Rosario Mercedes Pilar Martínez Molina Baeza but you know her better at Charo - she is 85 and looks exactly the same. Adam Clayton - the bass player from U2 is 66, and Donald Duck debuted on this date in 1934.  And I’ll tell you who’s celebrating today right here in Boerne - Happy Birthday to Laura Avery a great friend to Boerne Radio as the event director out at the Von Erich Ranch and DeVino Cellars, and also to Sean Hatley over at Wells Fargo.

 

Congratulations to Officer Micheal De Hoyos of the Fair Oaks Ranch Police Department for being named their department's 2025 Officer of the Year. Over the past year he has also received the Life Saving Award, and is credited with a calm demeanor, strong work ethic, and willingness to step up when it matters most.  Thank you for your service Officer De Hoyos.

 

The Kendall County Office of Emergency Management wants to remind you that, while we had some lovely rain recently, the burn ban is still on. For the time being, there will be no outdoor burning of any kind allowed, unless given a permit by the city. 

 

The Kendall County Animal Shelter has partnered with our local jail to give some of their dogs a second chance at finding a forever home. Through this program, they send one dog at a time to the jail to be cared for and worked with by the staff, with the goal of helping the dogs acclimate to people. Right now they don’t have a name for the program, so if you have a suggestion, you can throw your name idea on their most recent Facebook post-they will pick a winner on St. Patrick’s Day next Tuesday.  Some names already submitted are Leash on Life, Unlock Love, and Pawshank Redemption.

On Monday, the eastbound lane of Bandera Road will shift to the inside lane from the I-10 access road entrance between Chase Bank and Norris Lane. During this time, the Street Department will assist while the Electric Department upgrades a utility pole and installs an anchor as part of a Spectrum project. It is only expected to take place between 9 and 1:30, and there should only be minor delays.
