If it took a village to aid the mentally impaired through the challenges of the civil and criminal court systems, Donna Eccleston was its mayor.
Comal Countyâs Precinct 1 commissioner was among many inside a packed courthouse who saw their efforts realized with the formal creation of the countyâs first Mental Health Court.
âIt was her patience â sometimes lacking but definitely her patience, her persistence and her passion to get this up and going, as well as everything beyond just this mental health court,â Criminal District Attorney Jennifer Tharp said to Eccleston during Thursdayâs commissioners court meeting. âWe really appreciate everything you did to make today a reality.â
Retiring Greater New Braunfels Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Michael Meek was honored Friday night for his civic service as the Chamber announced him the winner of the Besserung Award, often referred to as the New Braunfels outstanding citizen award.
Community and business leaders gathered to hear the announcement during the Chamberâs 102nd annual banquet and awards ceremony at the New Braunfels Civic/Convention Center.
The name of the winner was kept secret until the moment of the announcement. For the first time in Meekâs tenure as Chamber president and CEO, he did not know the real recipient. With the help of a few clued-in staff and executive board members, the honor came as a complete surprise to Meek.
