It’s another year in Dripping Springs, and community leaders across the area are looking forward to further growth and development in 2022 — both personally and professionally.
Lon Shell, County Commissioner for Precinct 3, said he is especially excited to get to know the territory he gained through redistricting.
“My number one new year’s resolution is to make the most of every single day,” he said. “There’s always room to do more, to do better, and with this new territory, it’s exciting.”
“I’ve been in Hays (County) for a while; I grew up here,” he continued. “But now, getting to represent Dripping Springs, it’s a whole new group of people I get to meet.”
Similar resolutions were made by the president of Dripping Springs Independent School District’s board of trustees.
“My main goal for this year is to use whatever gifts and talents I have to continuously better myself and my community,” said Mary Jane Hetrick, Ph.D. “This includes seeking out and seizing opportunities that will bring our community together in support of Dripping Springs ISD. I want every student who attends school here to have an exceptional educational experience that prepares them for a bright future.”
Meanwhile, Pam Owens, president of the Dripping Springs Visitors Bureau, said her resolutions are “to get away from my computer and the office more, so I can enjoy our great amenities in Dripping Springs.”
“I can be a tourist in my own hometown,” she added.
It is a new year and another opportunity to self reflect. Even for those who have been in Dripping Springs for decades, there are opportunities to get out and explore all that Dripping Springs has to offer.
