Hello!
As we approach the 21st anniversary of the September 11th attacks, my heart goes out to all the individuals and families who were and continue to be impacted. We mourn with them, we pray for them and our hearts goes out to them.
The Georgetown Fire and Police Departments will be participating in a 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the GISD Football Stadium on Sunday, September 11th at 8 AM to honor the lives of the 403 emergency responders who died. Participation is open to all fire department, police department, EMS employees and military personnel, the public is welcome and encouraged to observe and support.
With your September calendars at the ready, on September 17th, Wag Heaven will be hosting a pet vigil and unveiling a new mural at their Downtown location. The public is invited to attend and details can be found in this week’s newsletter. You can also find our full community calendar with additional local events below.
Also, with school back in session, Huntington Learning Center is offering some great tips in their monthly Education Spotlight feature on how parents can help their children confront learning issues. We’re also excited to introduce a new feature section called Tech Tip Tuesday with Computek! You can read the first edition of that in this week’s newsletter.
In business news, we’ve learned Planet Nutrition is coming to Georgetown and Anchored Wellness is opening up a second location on the Downtown Georgetown Square! We have the latest on both of these stories below.
