Thanks so much CM @charlesallen for helping judge the pet costume contest, along with @SWBID ambassador Charlene and former @ANC6D commissioner Andy Litsky! We know there were a lot of good entries to choose from this year.
Annual Mutt Strutt & Family Fest was a success in Southwest! Glad to help judge our contestants this year! Winner: Flying Austin (with a working propeller!) 2nd Place: Back to the Future (didn’t have to hit 88 mph!) 3rd Place: Penelope (whose hat stayed on the entire time!)

We can confirm that one of our members was shot early this morning in the 1200 block of Canal Street SW. The officer was monitoring a basketball game and was struck in the chest with one round. Luckily, his ballistic vest absorbed the impact and he was not seriously injured.
