Our hearts ache for the families and communities who endured such great loss, including the tragic loss of so many lives. Please know that HCTC stands with you. We continue to lift our neighbors in prayer and support as you walk the long road of recovery. When the floodwaters came, HCTC employees stepped forward without hesitation. Our crews worked tirelessly in the days that followed, repairing downed lines and damaged infrastructure so that vital communication could be restored as quickly as possible. We are profoundly grateful for the first responders whose bravery saved lives and brought comfort in the midst of chaos. Just as moving were the countless acts of kindness from neighbors helping neighbors— reminders that in times of hardship, the strength of our Hill Country communities shines brightest. These past few months have highlighted how essential reliable communication is to our daily lives. From students relying on online learning, to small businesses serving customers near and far, to families trying to stay connected during an emergency—broadband is no longer a convenience, it is a lifeline. That is why HCTC remains steadfast in our investment to expand and strengthen our fiber network across the rugged terrain of the Texas Hill Country. These projects are not always easy, but they are vital to ensuring that each of you has access to world-class connectivity, no matter where you call home. We are proud of the resilience shown by our members this year, grateful for the courage of first responders, and deeply appreciative of our employees whose professionalism and neighborly spirit make all the difference. And I would be remiss if I did not also recognize my fellow board members. Each of them serves with a deep sense of responsibility and commitment to you, our members. Their leadership, foresight, and dedication ensure that HCTC remains strong and prepared for the future. As we look ahead, please know that our focus remains on you. We will continue to deliver exceptional service, make wise investments in technology, and always keep our members at the heart of every decision. Together—with your trust and support—HCTC will continue building not just a stronger network, but a stronger, more connected Texas Hill Country. Thank you for being part of the HCTC family.
