1. MLK Day was celebrated this past weekend and here's what some of the participants had to say about what this day means to them: “It means something we stand for, and we enjoy doing it every year,” one participant said. Mayor Craig Morgan said, “It just shows the diversity of Round Rock — we’re so much stronger together, and our diversity is what makes us so much stronger.” Sigma Gamma RHO Sorority, Austin City Wide Marching Sound Drumline and several local Round Rock organizations were a part of this great celebration.
