Annual STAR Board retreat (October 26, 2024)

 Before the meeting, Marla Smith, Joellen Peters, and I took a nature walk at the LCRA's McKinney Roughs Nature Park near Bastrop. Later, we met in the park's community center with Board members Joyce (yes, our Joyce!), Amy Gregorcyk, Noel Johnson, and our lobbyist Kathy Grant.
