Texas Municipal League meets at Hafernick Center

City of Edna and Ganado officials gathered with city officials from all over South Texas at the Hafernick Center at Brackenridge Park on Jan. 27. 140 city employees, some from as far away as Kingsville, were gathered for a quarterly meeting of Region 11 of the Texas Municipal League.  17 cities attended the event.

TML is an organization for elected officials in Texas that provides support, services, and information to Texas cities, in the form of things like insurance, legal guidance, and access to helpful publications for elected offcials. 

The event began with an afternoon workshop, followed by a social hour and then a meeting, which was kicked off by the presentation of the flags by Cub Scout pack #138 and a prayer by Edna Police Chief Clinton Wooldridge. A meal was provided by Flag City Cookers.

Coach "Buzzy" Whittley then introduced the speaker, Adrian Robinson. Robinson is a 1992 graduate of Edna High School and Baylor Hall of Famer who was knocked out of professional football by an injury. He now works as a motivational speaker, often with at-risk - or as he calls them, "at promise" - youth.

Edna Police Chief Clinton Wooldridge closed the event with another word of prayer.
