UPDATE: In response to the catastrophic flooding in Kerrville, TX, where the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes before dawn on July 4, on behalf of the HCR members, our Executive Council has made a donation to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to support the flood victims.
I know I speak for the entire Club when I say that during this time of unimaginable grief, we are heartbroken for the victims and extend our deepest condolences to the families who have lost loved ones. We also pray for the safety of our brave first responders and rescue teams as they continue to work tirelessly to help our Hill Country neighbors in need.
