Woodcreek Neighbors:
As we enter this festive holiday season, I’m honored to introduce myself as Woodcreek’s newly elected mayor. My name is Debra Hines, and I am grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me to help guide our community forward. This time of year invites reflection, connection, and a renewed sense of purpose. I intend to carry these values with me as we continue strengthening Woodcreek’s future. You can read more about my background and vision in this newsletter.
You can also learn more about our first-ever Holiday Jingle & Mingle celebration, taking place on Saturday, December 13, from 3 to 6pm at the Triangle. It will be a festive time for all ages, with a visit from Santa, caroling, cookies, cocoa, and a fun “Letters to Santa Station.” Don’t miss it!
Here’s a brief rundown of what’s happening in Woodcreek:
Two positions on the City Council were also filled in the November 4th election. Krista Richardson was re-elected to her seat, and Linda Swedberg was newly elected. Please join me in welcoming them aboard—we’ll feature their profiles in upcoming newsletters.
Our November Tree Giveaway and Water-Wise seminar were informative and well attended. If you signed up for a free tree but haven’t yet picked one up, stop by City Hall to collect it.
A city subcommittee is reviewing pricing, location, and logistics for purchasing an emergency siren within Woodcreek as part of our review of the emergency operations plan. No decisions have been made.
Chair yoga is moving to City Hall for the winter months. This gentle yoga improves flexibility, balance, and circulation while reducing stress. It’s taught by Carla Daws, a 27-year resident of Wimberley and longtime yoga instructor. The free, hour-long class is hosted every Monday at 9am. Sign up here.
The Trees and Parks Board is making recommendations for the aesthetics of the Triangle Park rainwater tank. They will consult with Water-Wise experts for native plantings to partially conceal the tank.
A reminder that we’re still looking for volunteers to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Trees and Parks Board, and the Community Relations Committee, as well as on small projects. Please consider helping out! Sign up here or stop by City Hall if you have any questions.
Finally, mark your calendars for Friday, March 6th. We’ll host our first “music in the park” event. Details are still being finalized, but it should be a great way to get out and celebrate spring.
In the meantime, thank you for being such an engaged part of the Woodcreek community this year. We wish you a safe, joyful holiday season filled with warmth, laughter, and time well spent with family and friends.
Debra Hines
Mayor
