🌱 St. Paddy's Day Road Closure + Pain Doctors + 2021 LRR Class

Happy Wednesday, neighbors! Here's everything you need to know to get this day started. These are the most important things going on in town today.

First, today's weather:

Nice with plenty of sunshine. High: 80 Low: 51.

Here are the top three stories today in Round Rock:

1. Tomorrow, Mar. 17, part of Main Street will be closed at 5 p.m. for St. Patrick’s Day crowds. West Main Street between Blair and Mays Streets and East Main Street from Mays to Sheppard Streets will be closed. Mays Street will remain open and the City Hall Parking Garage will remain open.

2. QC Kinetix in Round Rock has experienced doctors who focus on non-invasive procedures for chronic pain management. The clinic uses "all-natural regenerative medicine and biologic therapies" to reduce pain caused by musculoskeletal conditions or injury. With these treatments, Round Rock residents can benefit from techniques and advancements in regenerative research to combat chronic pain. (Digital Journal)
3. Each year, Leadership Round Rock (LRR) chooses a non-profit organization and fundraises for that organization. The 2021 LRR class chose to help Central Texas Table of Grace, an organization that provides emergency shelter services to the children and youth in the foster care system. But due to the challenges of COVID-19, the 2021 class had to do a drive-through fund drive instead of the originally planned dodge ball tournament and could not deliver the funds until March 2022.
