DANCING HEARTS, HELPING HANDS

Join Today’s Donation-Based Dance Classes for Flood Relief

Today, Lonestar Collective Dance is turning rhythm into relief at their Day of Dance for Donations—a community event supporting those affected by the devastating floods in Kendall and Kerr counties. All classes are offered by donation, and every dollar goes directly toward recovery efforts.

From ballet to musical theatre, classes are available for kids and teens ages 3 and up, all taught by volunteer instructors who are donating their time to help neighbors in need. If you can’t make it in person, you can still support the cause via Venmo (QR code on flyer).

This is the perfect chance for your kids to try out dance!

Boerne Invests in Water System Upgrades

Tuesday night, City Council approved funding for two major water projects aimed at improving quality and expanding capacity. A new filtration system at the City Lake plant will help reduce disinfection byproducts and improve taste, while a second facility near Ammann Road will include a 1-million-gallon storage tank and pump station. Construction will begin soon and continue through early 2027.
