BASTROP – Bluebonnet Electric Cooperative has joined several organizations in April to help raise awareness during Child Abuse Awareness Month. Court Appointed Special Advocates, or CASA, agencies that serve 11 counties in the Bluebonnet region, the Children’s Advocacy Center that serves Bastrop, Lee and Fayette counties, and the SAFE Alliance are among the local organizations that support families affected by abuse and neglect.

Eligible Texas voters who have not done so already have until April 7 to register to vote in the May 7 statewide constitutional amendment election, as well as any local elections for city, school districts and other local entities.

Somewhere along the line of life, we convince ourselves the unknown can be scary. It may be from all the horror movies we watch as a kid. We may be too little to understand what is going on, even subconsciously. We know that something that jumps out at you from the dark recesses and scares the bejesus out of you can’t be good!
