A historical marker, years in the making, will be dedicated at Cuauhtémoc Hall on Saturday.
In the early 1900s the Mexican American community struggled to gain improvements in educational and social services, so a group of community members formed La Sociedad Mutualista Cuauhtémoc. This year marks the 81st anniversary of its formation. The Hays County Commissioners Court issued a proclamation recognizing La Sociedad Mutualista Cuauhtémoc on June 20 for the historical marker that will be dedicated at 10 a.m. at Cuauhtémoc Hall, located at 1100 Patton Street, on Saturday.

THE ECONOMIST: BACK TO THE OFFICE

Although remote work was a notable and growing segment of overall employment before the pandemic, COVID-19 dramatically ramped up the process. During the worst of the shutdowns, it was often either that or nothing (unless one was an “essential” worker). While many have since returned to offices, the way we work has fundamentally changed.
