CA Staff Donates Bears to
Dell Children's Hospital
“A Beary Merry Christmas” for the patients of Dell Children’s Hospital in Austin was the theme of the holiday gathering of the Community Association staff. The CA staff donated 313 bears in various sizes and many colors to brighten the holidays for children. Keeping Sun City Texas operating for all the residents is a big job for the 195 employees who work in twelve different departments. CA Executive Director Jim Romine used this occasion to recap events of 2019 and challenge the staff members to be ready for a busy and exciting 2020! 
Wonderful Changes
in the SC Lobby
This past year and a half we have seen changes in the Social Center Lobby. Many residents now drop by and play board games or read the newspapers. We would like to thank resident decorator Jackie Wright for her time and talent making the lobby an inviting place to be. Pictured is this year's tree she decorated.

City / County News
City Seeks Your Input
 
The City is seeks feedback from the community regarding your general knowledge of our natural waterway systems and the programs the City of Georgetown provides to protect those systems. The results will be used to develop or improve education materials and programs that citizens can use to protect our water quality. The survey closes Sunday, Jan. 12.
 
Keep Your Pets Safe During the Holidays
 
The Georgetown Animal Shelter wants to remind everyone to take special care of their animals this season. Our furry friends can miss their normal routines, escape unnoticed or find the Christmas stash of candy. Here are a few tips for keeping them safe this holiday season:
 
  • When you have guests over, give your pet a safe place to escape the excitement and to prevent door dashing. A safe corner, crate or room also comes in handy during fireworks.
  • Keep people food safely out of reach. Chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions and other ingredients are toxic to pets, and many other foods could cause animals to have digestive issues.
  • Don’t leave your pet alone around seasonal decorations. Decorated trees, lit candles, potpourri and holiday plants, such as poinsettias, mistletoe, lilies and holly, are all hazards to pets.
 
A little bit of planning will save you from worrying during holiday parties and save you from an unplanned trip to the veterinarian.
 
Bicycle Master Plan Approved by City Council
 
The Georgetown Bicycle Master Plan was approved by the City Council. This plan is a blueprint for future transportation projects and educational efforts for a safe and well-connected bicycle network. The plan proposes an additional 64.2 miles (adding to the existing 35.6 miles) of off-street paths, bike lanes on streets and sharrows, which are pavement markings indicating shared use by vehicles and bicycles.
