PLEASE CONSERVE WATER
Regarding the Study Butte Water Plant:
I don’t have all the details yet, but the weather has caused some water production issues. The plant is running and should be back to normal, but water conservation is very important at this time, so it can catch up.

DUMP DAY!!!
Mark your calendars: Brewster County Cleanup Day will be Saturday, April 10 from 9AM to 3PM! More details to come soon.

The Paisano Band played an outdoor concert to start our school's virtual Open-House on Thursday.

The show went well and we are looking forward to recording some videos to post on our website for everyone to enjoy.

Good morning to you all and thank you Mr. Yancy for including these contacts.  

FOR VETERANS -- FROM NEW CONGRESSMAN'S AIDE
My name is Dolly Schultz and I’m the Veterans Advocate and Caseworker for Congressman Tony Gonzales.  I’m working on a couple of lists to plan our visits out there, as well as to send all of you information that may pertain to our Veterans.   I would greatly appreciate it, if each of you could send me an email with your information as well as meeting information of your organizations. 
Congressman Gonzales is a retired Navy Master Chief.  As a veteran himself, he understands firsthand the problems faced by our active duty military and Veterans.  He understands the importance of working with other members of Congress, military and VA officials, and members of the community at every level to ensure our Veterans are getting the best possible help they could need.  This is where you all come in, he needs to hear your concerns and how he may help addressing those concerns.  Our plan is to schedule Veteran Town Hall style meetings, I haven’t figured out what we will call them yet, when he is in your area..  We have such a vast district that I figured the best way to communicate with our fellow veterans is through the VSOs, American Legions and VFWs.  If we need to spread the word through social media or press releases let me know and we can arrange that. 
If you have contacts with other VFWs or American Legions please feel free to send me their information as well as pass mine along to them.  Thank you all for your attention and I’m looking forward to meeting ya’ll.
