Good evening. Hope all is well with you. This pandemic just doesn’t want to go away. Looks like we may be on our second wave. Keep up your efforts to stay safe so we can put this behind us. Let’s keep up the good work and look forward to the day we can all get together in person.
CONDOLENCES
All of HCR sends their condolences to VP Charlie Sparks. Charlie’s Dad passed last night after a brief battle with cancer. We’ll provide more information as it becomes available.
BYLAWS REVISION
We are in the process of revising our bylaws. We look at them every 3 – 5 years. The primary revisions will be for the term limits for the HCR elected officers and changing the make up the Standing Committees. Per our existing bylaws, the process is review by the Executive Council and review by the Board of Directors. After those reviews, the draft is submitted to membership for their review. After the membership, reviews the final draft is submitted to the membership for approval. We anticipate submitting the draft to the membership about the second week of November. Then submission for approval by the end of November. If we hold to this schedule and the new bylaws are approved by the membership, they will take effect January 1, 2021.
Wishing all a happy and safe Thanksgiving

Riley winds up an awesome season with a win and a second place. and second place overall in the standings. Not bad for an 18 year old gentleman. And I mean that. Riley is a real gentleman and Hill Country Region is proud to call him a member.
Congrats Riley!
Worthy cause. Hope you volunteer if you have the time.
Am working corner safety for this all weekend.
