Evening Live Oak neighbors,
Wanted to extend our gratitude to George West Isd for opening their gym facility for Red Cross Shelter during our flood event. Also to Three Rivers Isd for granting us the use of their facilities as a overflow shelter just in case we needed it.
Special thanks to Superintendent Alvarado (GW) & Superintendent Dragon(TR) for their unwavering support during our time of need.
We truly have a great community and this drives that point home.
