DRIPPING SPRINGS – Volunteers dedicate their time and service to the community, and the city of Dripping Springs is recognizing that.
At the Sept. 6 Dripping Springs City Council meeting, the city celebrated and thanked the outgoing board, committee, and commission members who have volunteered their time and service to help the city.
“Thank you for all you do,” a city representative wrote in a Facebook post. “We could not do what we do without the more than 100 wonderful people who serve and volunteer for the boards, commissions and committees. You are a big part of what makes Dripping Springs so great!”
Not all attended the meeting but the following is a list of each individual who received a Community Service Award – many who have served for more than a decade.
