The Joint Council Meeting was very interesting Saturday morning! I have to apologize, live to Austin's channel 6 is different than my live - it aired about 3 hours after the meeting. If you would like to watch the meeting and see what was said, here is a link! It was a packed house!

Lakeway Regional Medical Center's official ribbon cutting was held Monday April 16th at 10:30AM. This is a great accomplishment for the City and surrounding area, in a short period of time this piece of land has been turned into a majestic hospital that will undoubtably save many lives in the future! Congratulations!
