FAMILY FUN DAY AND LBJ MUSEUM BENEFIT GALA

For those of you that feel you missed out on fireworks for New Years Eve festivities and still need your fix, I have an event for you from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday Jan. 20. The Meadows Center for Water and the Environment will be celebrating 2024 with a Family Fun Day. Not only will it be a fun event to share with the little ones but it will be educational as well; there will be crafts and activities from different New Year celebrations from all around the world. If you are interested in supporting a local museum later that evening, the LBJ Museum Benefit Gala will be happening the same night at 6:30 p.m. at the Texas State LBJ Student Center Grand Ballroom. The speaker for the event is Douglas Brinkley, a presidential historian and author. Individual tickets are $80, and it costs $600 for a table of eight. If you have a business and would like an advertising opportunity, there are other table prices that come with various levels of sponsorship from the museum. There’s going to be dinner too, which I must say is my favorite part of any event. Buy your tickets or tables at this link lbjmuseum.com/ events/2024-lbj-museum-of-san-marcos-benefit-gala/.

Wither thou wilt: Strategies for safeguarding tree health

The Hill Country is experiencing an alarming prevalence of oak wilt which is a devastating tree disease caused by the fungus Bretziella fagacearum. This disease has raised concerns among environmentalists, landowners and tree enthusiasts in Texas. Particularly prominent in Central Texas, this infectious disease has been responsible for widespread oak tree mortality. We need to address this critical issue and acquire a comprehensive understanding of oak wilt and its management strategies which have become essential in this fight against a fungus.
