THE WOODLANDS, TX – Quote of the week: “Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.” — President Ronald Reagan
Usually, we talk about the fun events that are happening; however, this week we dedicate one of our events to a somber but life-affirming commemoration of a fallen local law enforcement officer. We hope you can make it; and to raise your spirits before and after, we have plenty of uplifting events for the entire family in the end of this leap month.
