Congratulations to our newly elected council members, elected by overwhelming margins: Lee Taylor is back for another term. Ralph McClendon (son of former mayor LaVerne McClendon) and Suzanne Hallam will begin service once they’re sworn in. Watch the city’s announcement boards and mountaincitytx.com for that important date.
How did you learn of our “take cover” notification on the morning of October 30th? For us, it came through an email from NextDoor.com Yes! It’s not just community “of interest” postings.
Salli Wilson posted word through NextDoor.com that her church is collecting old shoes as a fundraiser. In 3rd world countries, the shoes will be repaired and distributed. The shoes will provide work for those who repair them and shoes to those who desperately need them. Any shoes are fine, no matter the condition. Contact Salli Wilson for pickup. 512 262 7771.
Watch for details for Christmas Décor Recognition ballot and voting on NextDoor.com and the Facebook page for Loving Mountain City.
Every step along the way leads up to the Tour de Lights hayride that takes children and their parents past the houses selected as favorites. So, voting is the weekend before, December 11th – 13th and scouts are out the Sunday and Monday night beforehand, December 6th and 7th.
