We wanted rain and we sure got it. Many folks got a lot more than they would have liked. Does seem that when it rains, it pours! A heartfelt thanks goes out to the police departments, fire departments, emergency personnel and the many volunteers that have helped those in need. We will all need to in pitch so that all receive the help they need.

Thanks to the many people who attended the Onion Creek Senior Citizens Recognition Dinner last Saturday night. It was a wonderful evening and all the contributions to the senior center were very appreciated. We especially want to thank Silverado Memory Care Community of Austin, along with their chef for providing the delicious dinner and to Duchman Family Winery in Driftwood. We had many volunteers who worked extremely hard decorating and serving the meal. Our seniors are very blessed to have such generous cooperation from the community. Thanks to all.
The senior citizens would like to help you get into the holiday spirit by inviting the public to attend the free two-day Quilt Show and Christmas Bazaar from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8 and 9. A soup and sandwich lunch will be available along with desserts and drinks. Raffle tickets can be purchased for the quilt that will be given away on Sunday, Dec. 8. Do come and enjoy our senior center that is located at 420 Barton’s Crossing in Buda, just office FM 2770 (behind the Justice of the Peace office).
