Kimberly Henderson Retires

Oct. 2025: Kimberly Henderson is moving on! Our bright telephone voice and welcoming morning hours reception presence at the BPGCD office is leaving us.   She has been with the District  since May of 2024. The 10-year Blanco County resident wants to spend more time with her beloved grandchild in New Braunfels. Kim says her primary mission at BPGCD was to make well registrations easy for property owners.   Personally, she most enjoyed the educational experience of Administrative Assistant work, learning about groundwater, aquifers, wells and drilling. We’ll miss you, Kim!

Both adult and student divisions are available. Entries may be submitted in person from October 15–31 at the Blanco Library or the BPGCD office during regular business hours. The winning artwork will appear on this year’s BCCI posters. For contest details and entry forms, visit www.bccitx.org/art-contest.

Robert Wier

Sept. 2025: Volunteer Captain Rob Wier has concluded his service as leader of the District’s volunteer teams. Over the past year, Rob coordinated teams that collected water level readings from more than 20 monitor wells throughout the District. He also led volunteers and master gardeners in revitalizing the District’s front yard and planters. Rob and his family are relocating to Frisco, TX, to be closer to their grandchildren. District staff honored Rob’s contributions at a September reception in the District Office, where he received a commemorative plaque from Administrative Assistant Greg Stevens.

Director Robert A. "Bob" Reed, Jr. (RET)

Aug. 2025: Director Robert A. “Bob” Reed, Jr. retired from the BPGCD Board in late August 2025 after a decade of elected service. At the August 26 Board meeting, Board President Jimmy Klepac presented Bob with a plaque and commended him for serving Precinct 4 with unwavering loyalty, devotion, professionalism, and an open mind. President Klepac highlighted Bob’s willingness to listen to all perspectives and his support for Board decisions, even when he disagreed. A committee has been formed to recommend a candidate to fill the remaining year and a half of Bob’s term, with Directors set to vote on the replacement at the Board’s October meeting.
