My Fellow Cueroites: Ten thousand eggs picked up in eight minutes, this Saturday, April 4 — that was the City of Cuero’s Easter Egg hunt, thanks to the weather cooperating.
Next month, May, will be the end of my first term as your Mayor, and I will also be sworn in for the start of a second term. I can’t believe how fast two years transpired.
March 24 was a busy day. I started the day reviewing a $2.5 million grant with representatives from the General Land Office, which will be used on infrastructure. The Mayor’s Youth Council visited the Dewitt County Courthouse and received an awesome presentation on Criminal Justice procedures by District Attorney Brian Cromeens in the District courtroom. The group found the presentation very informative. Thank you, Sir! I finished the day by reading a proclamation recognizing 80 years of baseball in Cuero and throwing out the first pitch at the Cuero High School Gobbler baseball game.
Shout out to Jenni Garrett on all her hard work on a memorable program. Former Cuero High School Baseball Alumni who played Major League Baseball were in attendance and introduced to the audience. In addition, current and past baseball alumni were in attendance, which was well done by Mrs. Garrett.
I attended the Rotary Club meeting and presented a City of Cuero updates program, on March 26. On 30 March, the Local Emergency Planning Committee met and received a briefing from the National Weather Service. On the morning of March 31, the ribbon was cut at the Cuero City Park Clubhouse, recognizing plant improvements to the clubhouse exterior by the Keep Cuero Beautiful committee. Special thanks to former Cuero Mayor Sara Post Meyer.
The 250 Anniversary July 4th Committee met at the Chamber of Commerce office to discuss plans for the upcoming 4th of July Celebration. Information can be found on the Chamber of Commerce website. I finished the day at the Cuero Fire Station welcoming the South Texas Fire Chiefs to Cuero, Butch Tolbert treated the group to his stew and cornbread combo, thanks Butch!
April 1 was filled with sirens and sounds from first responder vehicles recognizing April as Child Abuse Awareness Month. The Friends of Dewitt County Children and Norma’s House placed pinwheels and cutouts at the Old John C. French property signifying abused children (anonymous) in Dewitt County. I read a proclamation urging the Citizens of Cuero to recognize the Month of April as Child Abuse Awareness month. Special thanks to Katie Klores (Friends of Dewitt County Children) and Deane Novasead (Norma’s House) for all their efforts for our children.
On April 2, I attended the Cuero High School College and Career Fair, thank you for the invitation, Ms. Gina Rico. The rain has been a blessing, and we need more.
More to follow.
