Due to inclement weather, including freezing rain, icy road conditions, and below-freezing temperatures across the San Antonio area, travel may be hazardous—especially on bridges and overpasses.

After a brief vote by the Chapter Board, the group collectively agreed to move the January 26, 2026, meeting to a 𝘃𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁 to prioritize everyone’s safety while still allowing us to move forward as planned.

Please stay safe, limit travel during icy conditions, and take steps now to prepare for extended cold weather.
