What’s a Welcome Service?
Carrying on a local tradition that’s existed in Kerr County since the 1950’s, Kristin the Welcome Lady extends the hand of hospitality by delivering a free welcome basket to newcomers. Each basket introduces newcomers to quality resources in 5 categories:
- Fun Stuff: information about fun area attractions, with free/discounted tickets
- Churches: gifts and invitations to area worship opportunities
- Health: health care gifts and information
- Good Eats: coupons and gift certificates to area restaurants
- At Home: gifts, promos, and coupons from local service providers
AND . . . every basket includes beautiful home-baked cookies!
This service helps newcomers quickly find what they need and make connections that help them feel at home here in Kerr County.
Moving to a new home is stressful. Becoming established in a new place can be challenging. Along with placing furniture and navigating through new streets, there are lots of everyday questions:
- Which health providers have a good reputation and accept new patients?
- Which mechanics are experienced and ethical?
- Who’s a quality vet / groomer / pet sitter?
- Who’s a reliable contractor or handyman?
- What is there for kids to do around here?
- Where are the local favorite hot spots?
- How can I connect with others who share my interests?
Kerr County Greeters exists to help newcomers quickly find answers to these questions and many more. In addition to being practical, it is a heartfelt outpouring of hospitality.
