As y'all know one of our member got swacked hard by Hurricane Harvey.
Here are the addresses of the City Council if you have time to send them your thoughts on the position. mayor@cityofportaransas.org;wmoore@cityofportaransas.org;bbolner@cityofportaransas.org;bowens@cityofportaransas.org;bclark@cityofportaransas.org; ccrawford@cityofportaransas.org;jholt@cityofportaransas.org
So we had dinner tonight with Donnie, the head cheese at Cowboy Camp David. This was the 27th straight day these angels have fed us. Many of you have donated money to keep them going.
As always, the food was excellent and served with a smile and a hug, at the end of another endless 12 hour day. We simply cannot imagine surviving this last month without them.
We were saddened and angered to learn from Donnie that the city is shutting them down after dinner tomorrow, Tuesday night. They are still serving 1,500 meals per day to needy, displaced, and homeless Port Aransans, but the city is giving them the boot.
Donnie has been given free space to use on Beach Street, across from the former Wild Horse Saloon, and is willing to keep the free kitchen open as long as necessary -- but it is in the hands of the City Manager as to whether these angels will be allowed to continue to help the people of Port Aransas.
We are still housing 14 homeless families at Amelia's Landing. We are not seeing FEMA trailers, insurance money, and way too many people (our employees, too!) are out of work. IMHO, we NEED these angels to continue feeding and hydrating us.
If you feel the same, please let Charles Bujan and the city manager know.
