The Week of November 28, 2022 in the City of Waxahachie!

Hey Y'all!

 

    I hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving and a long weekend!  This week's newsletter will ACTUALLY be short... For real this time...  I hope... lol

 

    #1 The Annual Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting on Tuesday, November 29th in downtown Waxahachie is my ALL TIME FAVORITE event each year. (The picture at the top is one I took when our family went in 2018.) It brings everyone together and is really magical.  All the details are in this link from Waxahachie's CVB (including parade route map):  https://www.waxahachiecvb.com/events/2022/christmas-parade--community-tree-lighting2

 

    #2 There are SO MANY wonderful events going on in these next few weeks!  Please be sure to check back on the CVB's website for all the info.  https://www.waxahachiecvb.com/

 

     #3 As of late Sunday afternoon, 11/27/22, there are currently no meetings posted on the City's calendar for next week; however, this could change on Monday, so please feel free to check that link to see if any are added after this newsletter goes out: https://www.waxahachie.com/calendar.php

** Just be sure to click "next month" for the latter part of the week, since we are beginning December!  I can't believe it's here!

    #4 The CPAC meeting previously-scheduled for Wednesday, November 30th at 6PM has been postponed due to a meeting conflict with the WISD Townhall meeting.  There is a link at the bottom of this page that you can use to sign up for updates and notifications.  It also gives contact information to the appropriate staff at City Hall who can assist you with any questions regarding this process.  https://www.waxahachie.com/departments/planning_department/comprehensive_plan_update.php

    #5  - WISD - There is a very important informational townhall meeting on Wednesday, November 30th from 6 PM - 7 PM at the Fine Arts Center (Coleman).  From their website: "Join us to hear from Dr. Hollingsworth about the district's growth and future plans.  Attendees will have an opportunity to submit questions."  This is a really important meeting to attend and to ask questions, as WISD is gearing up to order another school bond.  To see some of the information that has been presented to the LRPC (Long Range Planning Committee) leading up to this, please visit the following: https://www.wisd.org/LRPC  The LRPC is the group who will be recommending whether or not the school board of Trustees should order a bond election for voters who reside within WISD's boundaries will then vote on.  Lots of slides full of information at the LRPC link above.  I highly encourage all to read those before the Wednesday meeting.

    And... that's a wrap! Please take a minute to check out the links I've provided for everyone.  There's a ton of information - as long as you know where to look!  

I hope that everyone has WONDERFUL WEEK AHEAD!

Your Friendly Neighbor,

Melissa Olson
