EARLY VOTING for a Special Election is happening now at the usual early voting locations: Lakehills Area Library, 7200 FM 1283; Ray Mauer Building, 403 12th St., Bandera; and Medina Annex, 161 E. Parker St., Medina. Dates and hours are April 25 to May 3, Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; with extended hours Tuesday, April 26, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
This is for two proposed Texas Constitutional Amendments, for reducing taxes for senior citizens.
ELECTION DAY is Saturday, May 7, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at several combined locations.
MOTHER’S DAY is Sunday, May 8. In 1908 Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother. She meant to honor her mother and she believed all people should honor their mothers.
Her campaign efforts resulted in President Woodrow Wilson signing a proclamation creating Mother’s Day in 1914, setting the second Sunday in May as a national holiday to honor mothers.
Happy Mother’s Day to all moms!
