Ashley Rios, program director at Roxanne’s House (HCWC’s child advocacy center), thanked the council for the recognition and described services available in Lockhart and Caldwell County: education, prevention presentations, counseling and other free, confidential services. “All anyone has to do is give us a call,” Rios said.
Council’s action was ceremonial; no formal vote was required.
