Hello Georgetown!
Christmas is almost here! How exciting! I don’t know about you, but I still have some Christmas shopping to do. The days are sure going fast!
We’ve been hard at work adding addresses to our Christmas Light Display guide, new businesses to our Christmas Dinners and Desserts guide, events to our Christmas calendar, and just this week, we released our New Year’s in Georgetown, Texas guide! You can find all of these guides in the newsletter below.
Speaking of Christmas shopping, we have the latest details on a special that Cryo at Wolf is offering during the month of December that would make a great gift for a family member or friend who’s been wanting to try cryotherapy! It’s a great deal for yourself too! Also, this week we have another installment in the Becoming Anchored series where we get to know the team at Anchored Wellness. You can learn more about both of these businesses and their services in this week’s newsletter.
In other news, GTX Relief has teamed up with The Monument Cafe to collect items for our friends in eastern Arkansas who are recovering and cleaning up after recent tornadoes. We have details on where you can drop off your donations and what items they are in need of specifically. Plus, we have an update about the future of the former McCoy Elementary site, and news about new open-access fiber-optic infrastructure coming to Georgetown!
These are just a few updates we have for you this week!
As always, feel free to reach out and let us know how we can better serve you. Hello Georgetown exists for the community!
