Howdy
Neighbors,
As many
of you know, I was recently hospitalized with COVID-19. Thankfully, I
am feeling much better and recovering from this illness at home. The
District 10 Team shared all of your well wishes with me, and I want
each of you to know that your kind words and offers to help meant the
world to me. While the vaccine has shone a light at the end of the
tunnel, it's important to remember that the pandemic is still ongoing.
It is important to not let your guard down, even among close friends
and family. We must stay vigilant, wear masks, wash your hands, and
practice social distancing when possible.
Thank you
to everyone who attended January's NNA meeting. The meeting agenda
included briefings from Gordon Hartman and Allan Castro with Morgan
Wonderland’s regarding their Multi Assistance Center, Dr. Junda Woo and
Dr. Anita Kurian regarding the City’s local vaccine distribution, Syed
Mehdi and Jon Van Woensel with an update on the San Antonio Airport
Strategic Planning, and District 10’s report on current City issues. If
you missed the meeting you can watch it on YouTube here.
February's
District 10 Community Meeting will be on Monday, February 15, at 6PM.
We'll be joined by Rick Aste - Director and CEO of the McNay,
Commissioners DeBerry and Calvert, and Constable Mark Vojvodich. To
register, click here.
As
always, thank you for being active community members and leaders here
in District 10. Please do not hesitate to contact our office if we can
be of any assistance to you. The District 10 team is still on hand
and available to address your needs and concerns throughout this time.
- Clayton

Community
Highlight - District 10 Blood Drive
|
|
|
|
Thank you
to everyone who participated in the District 10 Blood Drive in January
and to Northern Hills United Methodist Church for opening their doors
to us. Your willingness to donate blood helped save lives across South
Texas. Your donation truly makes a difference. The demand for blood
donors remains extremely urgent, with 500 donations a day needed to
meet patient needs.
Due to
the shortage, the Center is extending hours at the donor rooms at
Shavano Park and the Donor Pavilion on IH 10, from Thursday to
Saturday. Donors can make an appointment by visiting
SouthTexasBlood.org or calling 210-731-5590. All South Texas Blood
& Tissue Center donors in February will receive a $10 Amazon gift
card, voucher for a 20-ounce smoothie of their choice from Smoothie
King on Sundays, as well as points to redeem additional gift cards or
merchandise. Blood donors also can give at the University Hospital
Blood Donor Room, 4502 Medical Drive. To schedule an appointment with
University Hospital, call 210-358-2812.
