Community Calendar

We welcome all middle and high school ages to come join us for a Fiesta Youth meeting. Our youth meetings provide a safe, non-judgmental, affirming place for all LGBTQ+ youth. Every Tuesday, our youth meet at Woodlawn Pointe to meet new friends, participate in fun games and activities (field trips, too!), and join in on group discussions.

We're creating a more transparent and inclusive Bexar County budget process by inviting the community to learn about how our budget works, share their input, and ask questions of County leadership. Please join us at one of our town halls and share your priorities for our budget.

Our August general meeting features Brent Doty, P.G., Research Manager, Edwards Aquifer Authority.

Program topic

The Edwards Balcones Fault Zone Aquifer is one of the most prolific karst aquifers in the world. Brent will discuss the geologic, hydrologic, and ecological characteristics of the Aquifer that make it so unique and critical to both the communities and ecosystem it serves.

About our speaker

Research Manager for the Edwards Aquifer Authority’s Aquifer Science and Modeling Team, Brent Doty is a geoscientist with more than 16 years of experience in hydrogeology and water resources management. Brent is a licensed professional geoscientist in Texas and holds an M.S. in Natural Resources Management and a graduate certificate in Water Conflict Management and Transformation from Oregon State University.

Brent’s role includes the development and execution of several research initiatives to better understand the Edwards Aquifer System and to provide decision makers with the best available science to manage, enhance, and protect the Edwards Aquifer System. Brent has worked on several key initiatives, including surface and groundwater interactions, aquifer vulnerability assessments, and emerging contaminant studies. Much of his current work focuses on quantifying the potential benefits of nature-based land management solutions as a managed aquifer recharge project.

Brent is also the lead geologist responsible for assessing potential conservation easement properties for the City of San Antonio’s Edwards Aquifer Protection Program, a 300 million-plus dollar conservation initiative that has protected more than 180,000 acres of environmentally sensitive land over the Edwards Aquifer Recharge and Contributing zones.

For the first time in a very long time, families have a new type of education option to choose from through the recent Education Savings Account bill being signed into law on May 3, 2025. The bill appropriates $1 billion to fund education expenses, including private school tuition for qualifying K–12 students, homeschooling fees and students with learning and physical disabilities - should they qualify.
To help families understand what ESAs are and make sense of this new opportunity, San Antonio Charter Moms (SACM) is hosting a series of Town Halls to explain key factors such as eligibility, money allocation and what types of expenses will be approved. The Town Hall series is the latest way that SACM is bringing trusted education information to local families and caregivers, so that children can attend the best school for their needs and learning style.
SACM Founder, Inga Cotton will walk the audience through key factors families need to know followed by a Q&A session based on the statute and the information that the state has released so far. These events are free and open to the public with registration.
