ELECTION DAY – NOVEMBER 8
7am to 7pm for all 9 Precincts!
Each year, Highland Lakes Republican Women put on a free lunch for local Veterans to thank them for their service. This takes place on November 11, Veteran’s Day.
As we are aging women, we could use help from some young, strong volunteers. You will help with set-up and take down of tables and chairs for Veteran’s Day at Kuykendall Event Center, in Llano, TX.
You can volunteer for either set up or take down duty or both!
We will set up on Thursday, November 10 at 3PM. Take down will be on Friday, November 11 also at 3. Entire job should take no longer than one hour.
You will be able to use this activity toward your HLRW Scholarship application, too!
To volunteer, email scholarships@hlrw.com. Specify what day(s) you will work.
Thank you, Ginger Shilts
Your attendance matters! Proceeds from ticket sales and from the Silent and Dessert Auctions will be given to help support

AUSTIN — Texas Deputy Secretary of State Joe Esparza today drew the ballot order for the two proposed amendments to the Texas Constitution that will appear on the ballot for the May 7, 2022 Election. In order to appear on the ballot, the proposed amendments must be approved by at least two-thirds of the members of both the Texas Senate and the Texas House of Representatives.
Texans will have the opportunity to approve the following amendments with a majority vote:
“The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the reduction of the amount of a limitation on the total amount of ad valorem taxes that may be imposed for general elementary and secondary public school purposes on the residence homestead of a person who is elderly or disabled to reflect any statutory reduction from the preceding tax year in the maximum compressed rate of the maintenance and operations taxes imposed for those purposes on the homestead.”
“The constitutional amendment increasing the amount of the residence homestead exemption from ad valorem taxation for public school purposes from $25,000 to $40,000.”
The explanatory statements for each proposed amendment are below:
SJR 2 (87th Legislature, 2nd Special Session) proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for the reduction of the amount of a limitation on the total amount of property taxes that may be imposed for general elementary and secondary public school purposes on the residence homestead of a person who is elderly or disabled in order to reflect any statutory reduction in the maximum compressed rate of the maintenance and operations taxes imposed for those purposes on the person’s homestead from the preceding tax year.
SJR 2 (87th Legislature, 3rd Special Session) proposes a constitutional amendment increasing the amount of the residence homestead exemption from property taxes for public school purposes from $25,000 to $40,000.
