Hello!
Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your holiday is full of happy memories, delicious food and lots of loved ones. At Hello Georgetown, we are grateful to all of our readers and community members, thank you for all you do to make Georgetown such a special place to live!
Speaking of Thanksgiving, a Community Thanksgiving is scheduled to take place this week on November 24th, and not far behind that, as Christmas shopping begins, the community is invited to shop small and support local businesses in the annual “Shop Small Saturday” on November 26.
Also during the holiday, as kiddos are out on break, now might be a great time to check in with your student on how their school year is going. We have a great feature from Huntington Learning Center for middle school parents about five study skills students should acquire and refine.
In other news this week, the 22nd annual Breakfast with Santa event is returning to San Gabriel Park on December 17, and applications for assistance are open for both the Georgetown Police Department’s Blue Santa and the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office Brown Santa programs.
Finally, I am so excited to announce details for this year’s annual Make A Smile Happen drive. Each year, Hello Georgetown invites the community to participate in a combined food, children and teen gift, pet supply and cash donation drive benefitting five local nonprofits. This year’s event is December 10th and getting involved is easy! Learn more about this year’s event in this week’s newsletter.
These are just a few updates we have for you this week!
