The Regular Meeting of Maverick County Commissioner's Court was moved to Tuesday due to the fact that all offices were closed due to the awareness of Columbus Day. First up prior to the deliberation of County business was the reading of a proclamation honoring the Maverick County 4-H Club. Oscar Galindo, Maverick County Agent was on hand along with a handful of members of our 4-H Club to receive the proclamation which was read by The Honorable David R. Saucedo, Maverick County Judge, highlighting the significance of such an organization signifying the four core values of the club: Head which is to be used to manage your activities and to think about key issues, Heart which children should incorporate to relate to issues and care about others, Hands which should be used to give and to work and Health which is a sign of being and living a life with the quality which only a person who exemplifies these qualities can live.
