What a joy it is to drive and walk through our beautiful village during the Christmas season.

Dear Editor:
It is such a blessing to call Salado my home town. Our little town is filled with the most generous people. I have been involved with Salado Family Relief for 10 years now, and I am always amazed with the local support. I want to thank all the local Restaurants and Bed & Breakfasts that donated soup, bread sticks and tea for our Empty Bowl Fundraiser in November. Thanks to all the people that attended the event. A special thank you to Titia at Mud Pies for donating beautiful pottery bowls, and lining up potters from all over central Texas to also donate bowls for this event. Our group was also blessed to receive a generous donation that was collected from the Community Church Service held in November. We just wrapped up our Christmas Project and we helped 147 local children with toys and gifts for Christmas. Almost all of these children were assisted by local groups, churches and individuals in the community that shopped for a family or child. Thanks again to everyone that helped with this event!
Sincerely,
Renee’ Oas, President

My family and I were in a terrible car accident in Bastrop County on Nov. 27. Our daughter, Addie, was taken by helicopter to Brackenridge in Austin while Rick and I were brought in by ambulance.
To the Editor:
For the third time in the last few days Main Street and side streets are jammed with freeway traffic, further crippling our Village and businesses, not to mention emergency traffic flow. The state tells us that 1500 people are moving to Texas every day from the overcrowded north, yet we continue to just piddle along with expanding our infrastructure just like we did in the past.

I have no idea if you have any influence in the construction process and associated traffic, but I’m sending this to you either way. The decision to have that much road work around the thanksgiving holiday is absolutely absurd. My family and I sat in traffic forever on our way home. Someone needs to have a word with the decision makers and they need to be considerate and a hell of a lot smarter.

The lower front page of your November 26, 2015 edition read as follows “BOA approves Sanctuary deal” or should it have read, “The Rabbits finally swallowed the Dangling Carrot,” except one.

At the Nov. 19 Village Workshop, our elected officials and Village attorney left the large meeting area and moved into the far North room with shut doors to meet in Executive Session for more than two hours.

If true, as media reported, it is indeed a rare occurrence when art reflects reality in such a perfect fashion! Salado’s infamous ‘reverend-mayor’ is portraying “Scrooge” in a local rendition of ‘A Christmas Carol.’
To the Editor:
I’m weary of the mayor sermonizing and cheerleading in his segment in the Salado Village Voice. What bothers me is the incessant underlying message that the mayor is trying to keep the Salado flock on the correct path — albeit and arguably his path — using questionable methods.
