DINNER CLUB RETURNS: RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW

Last Dinner Club brought together over 100 locals across 10 different restaurants around Boerne for a night of great food, new friendships, and conversations that carried into the after-party.

And now, before we’ve even officially announced this one, almost 60 people have already signed up.

So if you’ve been thinking about trying it, don’t wait too long.

Here’s how it works:

Take a quick personality & interests quiz
Get matched with 5 other locals
Restaurant revealed the morning of the event
Everyone meets at the after-party after dinner

Whether you’re new to town, looking to meet more people, or just want to do something different, this has turned into something really special.

This event is expected to sell out, so reserve your spot below before it fills up

STAY ALERT AS BOERNE LAKE REACHES FULL CAPACITY

After days of heavy rainfall, Boerne Lake is now at over 100% capacity, highlighting just how much water has moved through the area. While the lake plays an important role in reducing downstream flooding, additional rain is still possible, and officials are encouraging residents to stay weather aware.

Yesterday, we got this really cool video showing where the lake drains. So click to watch - it’s really fascinating! There’s also a link there to the official City of Boerne weather update page.

WHEN LIFE FEELS A LITTLE STORMY...

After years of drought, the rain has been a blessing for Boerne.

But sometimes the storms we're carrying aren't outside.

Whether you're working through anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or simply feeling overwhelmed, our partners at Genesis Counseling Center are here to help.

Their team offers counseling for individuals, couples, children, teens, and families right here in Boerne.

Sometimes the first step toward brighter days is simply talking to someone.

TURN EVERY RAINSTORM INTO A WATER SUPPLY

Instead of watching rainwater run off your property, Aqua-man Water Conditioning can help you put it to work. Their custom rainwater harvesting systems collect and store hundreds of gallons with every rainfall, providing an additional water source for landscaping, household use, or even a full home water supply with proper treatment.

Located at 32545 I-10 West, Aqua-man designs systems tailored to your property, helping you conserve water while reducing long-term water costs.
