We’ll be able to see her and talk
to her in real time. The public is

On Friday, May 7 at 10 a.m.,
the ladies of Circulo de Mujeres

to talk about “Telex from Cuba” by
Rachel Kushner.
Finally, on Monday, May 24, the
Reality Readers will come together
to talk about a wartime president,
“Truman” by David McCullough.
All of our discussion groups are
free and open to the public, and
delicious refreshments are served
at each. You can find reading lists
for three of the groups on the
library Web site.

and more of you will be heading to
the beaches, some wonderful books
are being put on the shelves. Stuart

Days to Live”; David Baldacci has
written “Deliver Us from Evil”;

Kendalia hosts county library dinner
The Kendalia Public library
hosted the Kendall County Library
System Dinner for the three
libraries - Boerne, Comfort, and
Kendalia, and a host of library sup-
porters on Thursday evening. The
lasagna dinner was enjoyed by all.
The occasion provided an oppor-
tunity to thank Judge Gaylan
Schroeder and his wife, Cherry,
and Commissioner Darrel Lux and
his wife, Michelle, for the finan-
cial support, encouragement and
help they have given the Kendalia
Library and community through
the construction of the new ADA
restroom factility.
We also thank the Kronkosky
Charitable Organization, Kendall
County, the Kendalia Community
Club, and all those who gave indi-
vidual contributions for the new
facility.
Patti Miles, library director of
Comfort Library, and Natalie Mor-
gan, assistant director of Boerne
Library, gave upcoming dates and
events for the Summer Reading
Program and the groundbreaking
of the new library in Boerne.
At Kendalia, we have seen an
increase in visits from homeschool
families from Johnson City, Wim-
berley, Bulverde, Canyon Lake,
Sisterdale and Boerne as well as
Kendalia.

with her grandfather Frank as he
conducted business at the market

other nostalgic and charming sto-

Shirley graciously provided these
and other stories with photographs
for the new book. When the book
is completed, it will be a fundraiser
for the Kendalia Library.
It was the culmination of a
delightful evening, a time to recog-
nize the value of libraries and how
they enrich our lives.
The old Octagonal store in Kendalia was a distinctive landmark.
BCT offers 3 drama camps for youths 8 to 14
Boerne Community Theatre is
again offering three sessions of its
popular summer drama camp.
Up to 35 children age 8 to 14 can
enroll in each session, according
to Patricia Hausman, BCT youth
director. Hausman is also director
of all three camp sessions.
Campers will learn how to audi-
tion, rehearse and do simple dance
routines. At the end of each session
they will take part in three perfor-
mances of a musical production.
The camps introduce children to
live theater, Hausman said. The
sessions build confidence, offer
experience in acting and produc-
tion, and teach the importance of
teamwork.
“It’s a fun and entertaining camp
that my daughter just loves to
attend year after year,” said Debi
Mastrangelo-Lamb. “It has fostered
her creativity and confidence.”
Camp sessions run Monday
through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. for two weeks, plus perfor-
mances the final Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.
The $325 camp fee includes a
T-shirt, script, daily snacks and a
cast party.
Hausman has a Bachelor of Fine
Arts in acting and directing and has
taught theater in junior and senior
high schools. Camp staff includes
theater veterans with training or
experience in dance, voice, acting,
directing and technical production.
The first came will be June
7 through 20 at BCT, 907 East
Blanco Rd. The show is “Mirror
Image,” a pop musical where fan-
tasy comes face to face with the
reality of high school.
From July 12 through 25, the
camp will be held at the Geneva
School of Boerne, 113 Cascade
Caverns Rd. The show is “Sum-
mer’s in the Air,” a comedy about
students who dare to ditch school
for a day.
The final camp returns to BCT
from Aug. 2 through 15. The show
is “Night at the Wax Museum,” a
comic romp through the wackiest
wax museum in history.

ater at 830-249-9166 or e-mail
