The groundbreaking ceremony for the Blanco County Veteran's Memorial was held November 11. Rotarian Joe Garcia, who passed away three years ago, had a goal to build the Veteran's Memorial. His wife, Leta Garcia (also a Rotarian), was present for the groundbreaking and said "Joe spent countless hours for the memorial, and while it did not happen in his lifetime he is smiling down upon us and is happy today." The Rotary Club of Blanco County made a donation in support of the building of the Veteran's Memorial.
