So, what's happening behind City Hall?
Keep an eye out for our next newsletter that will explain in detail what is happening behind City Hall. However, trees have been cut as the first phase of the DD6 ditch work that will help relieve the flooding at the crossing of River Bend and, upon completion, will make a way for us to install the playground equipment that has been on hold until this project could be completed. More information is coming very soon in the next newsletter.
Where are we with changing School Districts?
The Bevil Oaks Children's Legal Fund has been established in order to fight BISD's refusal to let us be attached to Hardin Jefferson ISD. They will be procuring legal council, who is well versed in education law in Texas to present our case to the TEA Commissioner in Austin. Our case is similar to a civil law suit and will require considerable funding. OUR CHILDREN NEED THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OF THIS COMMUNITY! PLEASE HELP US TO HELP THEM!
HOW CAN YOU HELP? (Your donation can remain anonymous if you so desire)
Credit Card - www.GoFundme.com - (then click on search Bevil Oaks) and you can donate any amount you want towards this cause.
Check - Checks may be made payable to "Bevil Oaks Children's Legal Fund" and may be dropped in the drop box at the City Office or brought inside and given to a City Clerk.
Cash - Bring your cash donation by the City Office and the City Clerks will document the donation and give receipts for those who want one.
We are excited and energized that Hard-Jefferson has accepted us. No donation is too small and time is of the essence.
Our appeal must be presented by June 30th. This opportunity is unprecedented and our children deserve for us to continue the fight. We thank each of you for your continued support of this endeavor.
** Mark your calendars for June 20th 5-9 p.m. Martha Vautrot will be donating profits from meals on that day toward our fund and residents in Bevil Oaks will be waiting tables, also. Join together and have a great meal and help the cause.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL Jim Andrews, III @ 409-504-9337 or Allen Pride @ 409-999-5001.
They are also taking recipes to create a recipe book. So for everyone who cooks, pull out your favorite recipes and drop them by City Hall!
