Self Opportunity, Inc.’s Post

Dear Williamson County Community, We are thrilled to present “Haunted Texas,” a project born from the spirit of our heritage and a vision for our future. This is much more than a theme park—it’s a beacon for economic growth and a catalyst for unity in our community. Economic Revitalization: “Haunted Texas” promises a wave of job opportunities, from the craftsmen shaping our attractions to the tech wizards behind our virtual experiences. We are not just building a park; we are uplifting local businesses and crafting a tourist destination that will channel vital revenue back into our beloved county, enhancing public services and infrastructure. Social Harmony: At its core, “Haunted Texas” will be a gathering place—a venue for events that weave the fabric of our society tighter, fostering pride and solidarity. Our interactive exhibits aren’t just about thrills; they’re about education, about delving into the depths of our state’s past to bring to light the stories that shaped us. A Safer Community: Our youth are the architects of tomorrow, and through “Haunted Texas,” we offer them a path away from the crossroads of delinquency. By partnering with justice programs, we’re also paving a road to redemption for ex-offenders, believing in second chances and the power of rehabilitation. Family Bonds: Families are the cornerstone of Williamson County, and our park is dedicated to creating a space where they can forge lifelong memories. We understand the challenges faced by families of incarcerated individuals and extend our support to them, aiming to bring solace and joy into their lives. Preventing Crime, Promoting Trust: We stand with the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition in the belief that prevention is pivotal. “Haunted Texas” will actively support diversion programs for at-risk youth and collaborate with law enforcement to build bridges of trust between them and the communities they protect. “Haunted Texas” is more than a name; it’s a commitment to our county’s prosperity, security, and heart. Join us as we turn this vision into a legacy for generations to come. Sincerely, AmyBTrippinYo on X #HauntedTexas #WilliamsonCounty #CommunityFirst #EcoFriendlyFun #TexasJobs #LocalTourism #HistoricTexas #FamilyEntertainment #SocialImpact #JusticeReform #CrimePrevention #YouthEngagement #EconomicGrowth #SustainableDevelopment #TexasPride

March shines a light on Social Work Month! Today, we're spotlighting Lisa Richards Ryan, LSW! Unit, title, years of experience? Office of Intake and Emergency Services District Manager 27 years What do you do at the Department? I am the District Manager of the Office of Intake and Emergency Services on St. Croix. As a Social Worker/District Manager, it is important to have many characteristic traits, such as honesty, empathy, effective communication skills, being non-biased, as well as being a good listener. Who does your unit help? Intake is a unit that functions under the guidelines of Title 5 of the Virgin Islands Code, mandating that this unit protects the children of our community from abuse as well as neglect. Why is it important? Social Workers are public servants who are dedicated to ensuring that the children of our community are safe in their environments. Why would other social workers want to come work at DHS? Working with the Department of Human Services has allowed me to be exposed to so many families that need assistance. This work has also allowed me to grow and develop the skills and experience necessary to become a better person, not only for myself but also for others.

Excellent conversation with Melanie Frazer, ACE and the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce! Thanks for giving me a platform to share information about the Project SEARCH program. #networking #schooltoworkprogram

Looking forward to supporting the Building Community Resilience Project and the Four Forums Network through the CSIF funding to address local needs in relation to community safety. Through working together the impact of crime and anti-social behaviour on people living and working in hot spot areas can be addressed. #communitysafety #communityworkingtogether

A great leader and great organization.
