Every day, we come nearer to Thee and each day You Continue many blessings as we journey with our fellow beings on this green earth. Forgive us our many sins and neglect of the things we needed to do and say. Help us Lord to correct our attitude toward others and forgive those that are against us.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor, On behalf of the Yorktown Western Days Association, I would like to take a few minutes to thank St Paul Lutheran Church members, Holy Cross Catholic Church members, and all the other local individuals who generously donated towards our Cowboy Claus campaign for this year. Each year we serve children ages 0-15 who are less fortunate with numerous toys, gifts, and other items they are in need of to make sure everyone has a magical Christmas. Without your donations and continued support we would not be able to provide this event. 12/18/2024 06:57 PM

A Message from the Mayor Emil Garza

Help wanted: Christmas in the Park needs nativity volunteers

Hello All, Congratulations are in order for the Stevenson Unit, who achieved an excellent rating in their American Correctional Accreditation (ACA) audit, last week. I met with ACA auditors who praised the Stevenson Unit staff and the City of Cuero community support. On Thursday 12/12, I welcomed Foster Families from the Golden Crescent area to Cuero at the Chisholm Trail Heritage Museum. Shout out to Ms. Viola Holman and volunteers for putting together an awesome event, to include Angels with lighted wings and the Yorktown school band playing Christmas music. The City of Cuero’s Christmas dinner at the Venue on 12/12 was enjoyed by all. I am proud of each city employee and the work they do 365 days a year for the Citizens of Cuero. 12/18/2024 06:57 PM
