Howdy neighbors,

Time is flying by! I am wishing everyone a great fall season.

The Northeast Neighborhood Alliance (NNA) meeting was a complete success. Thank you to the NNA for hosting the candidates, and for each of the candidates stepping up to run for office. We also want to thank all our neighbors for joining us to learn about the important issues in our upcoming elections. In case you missed the NNA meeting, it can be found here. Learn more about NNA, and Early Voting in Bexar County!

We had a great time at the Forest Oaks Roadshow this past Tuesday! Thank you to Forest Oaks Neighborhood Association for gathering together neighbors, community organizations, and friendly faces for a great night. If your neighborhood is interested in a roadshow, please reach out to Jarvis Soileau on our team.  

Save the date! Join us in celebration of Native Peoples and their history for our annual Native American Heritage Month event, on November 5th, 2022, at the Julia Yates Semmes Library & Comanche Lookout Park, located at 15060 Judson Road!
