Greetings, neighbors!

On Thursday, June 6, our Medina Lake level was 1064.02 feet. That is down 0.18 feet, which is 99.6 percent capacity. The Diversion Dam gates are open for irrigation.
The Medina River had a flow of 99.8 cfs in Bandera, running 4.49 feet deep at the gage.
TRIVIA TIDBITS
This year the Jewish festival of Shavuot and the Christian Pentecost both fall on Sunday, June 9.
Shavuot, also called Feast of Weeks, will begin at sundown on June 8 and lasts 24 hours. It is one of the three pilgrim festivals of Exodus 23 and Leviticus 23. It commemorates the giving of the Law, Torah, to Moses. It occurs 50 days after Passover. The book of Ruth is traditionally read on this day.
Pentecost is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word. Sometimes described as the Birth of the Church, it is the day Christians celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus after His ascension, depicted in Acts 2. It is held on the seventh Sunday after Easter.
As it is a festive time for both religions, we wish all a Happy Shavuot/Pentecost.
