Texans Extend Their Win Streaks

Our Texan volleyball squad is continuing their march towards the state championship. They face Lago Vista tomorrow at 7pm at Cedar Creek High School in the area round of the playoffs. And of course, you can listen to all the action LIVE on Wimberley Valley Radio.

 

Meanwhile, undefeated Texan football is gearing up for their final regular season game against Austin Eastside Early College in a rare Thursday evening game. They clinched the district championship on Friday with an absolute beatdown of Manor New Tech, 80-18. As always, you can catch the Texan Tailgate pregame show at 4pm on Thursday, followed by pregame at 7pm and kickoff at 7:30.

 

And don't forget --- you can catch up on all things Texan this evening at 6:30pm for the Wes Lambert Coach's Show on KWVH 94.3.

 

GO TEXANS!


Sign Up, Donate to Wimberley Community Thanksgiving!

One of Wimberley's most cherished holiday traditions returns Thursday, November 26, and organizers are asking the community to lend a hand. The annual Wimberley Community Thanksgiving Dinner will serve a free Thanksgiving feast from 11am to 2pm at the Wimberley Community Center.

 

Organized by longtime volunteer Dave Lewis and supported entirely by community volunteers and donations, the event served more than 1,000 meals last year, bringing neighbors together and delivering holiday dinners to those unable to attend.

 

Here's where you come in! Organizers are seeking volunteers to fill approximately 120 positions, with shifts typically lasting no more than a couple hours. Whether you can spare a little time or make a financial contribution, your generosity helps keep this wonderful tradition alive. Volunteers must register in advance. You can also make donations here or in person at Ozona Bank.

 

And if you'd like a free meal, sign up here -- you can dine at the Community Center or arrange a delivery. Let's make sure everyone in the Wimberley Valley has a place at the Thanksgiving table. Give a little time, give a little money, and give your neighbors something to be thankful for.


Get Ready for the KWVH Thanks For Giving Radiothon!

Get ready! Wimberley Valley Radio is kicking off its Thanks for Giving Radiothon November 7–19, with a goal of raising $75,000 to support the Valley's community radio station. The nearly two-week fundraising campaign will feature special on-air appeals, matching donation opportunities, and recognition of the listeners and supporters who keep KWVH going strong.

 

It's been two years since KWVH held a full-fledged pledge drive, and this year's Radiothon is an opportunity to celebrate the generosity of our community while securing the resources needed to keep local radio thriving.

 

As a nonprofit, listener-supported station, KWVH depends on contributions to deliver local news, emergency information, community conversations, and an eclectic mix of music you won't find anywhere else. Unlike commercial stations, KWVH exists to serve the Wimberley Valley, not advertisers or corporate interests.

 

If Wimberley Valley Radio is part of your daily routine, now is the time to show your support. Every contribution, large or small, helps keep local voices on the air and ensures KWVH remains a trusted, independent resource for our community.

 

If you simply can't wait for the official start of our Radiothon, that's fine! Just mash the button below and you can donate today!

Election Day Reminder

On the rare chance that you haven't seen the ubiquitous campaign commercials and yard signs... there's an election going on! Early voting has ended, but if you haven't cast your ballot yet, you can do it tomorrow on election day.

 

You can vote at the Community Center, the Texan Academy at Scudder, or VFW Post 6441 between 7am and 7pm.


VFW Post 6441 and KWVH Salute Our Veteran of the Week

VFW Post 6441 and KWVH salute U.S. Air Force Master Sergeant Michael Lukowiak, who dedicated 24 years to serving our nation as a Cryptologic Linguist, specializing in Vietnamese and Korean languages. Stationed in Texas, Maryland, Thailand, and the Republic of Korea, he often worked directly with the National Security Agency, supporting our nation’s intelligence mission.

 

After retiring from the Air Force, Michael continued serving others through an 18-year career with the State of Texas, working with delinquent youth and helping young people find a better path forward.

 

Today, retired in Wimberley, Michael remains committed to his community through VFW Post 6441, Scout Troop 127, the Barnabas Connection, and the Wimberley Valley Art League.

 

Master Sergeant Michael Lukowiak has spent a lifetime serving his country and his neighbors. We thank him for his service, his dedication, and his continued contributions to our community.



UNDERWRITER SPOTLIGHT


This month, we spotlight our longtime underwriter Hill Country Collision, a family-owned auto body shop proudly serving the Texas Hill Country since 1999. When you choose Hill Country Collision, your vehicle is repaired with genuine OEM parts—never cheap aftermarket substitutes. Thanks to Hill Country Collision for sustaining Wimberley Valley Radio.
