The Family Crisis Center of the Big Bend is hosting its Annual Zuzu Verk Memorial & Candlelight Vigil Wednesday.
It honors victims and survivors of domestic violence. Zuzu was a 21-year-old Sul Ross student who was missing for several months in 2016 until her body was found in a shallow grave in Sunny Glenn.
Her boyfriend, then 28-year-old Robert Fabian, was later convicted of her murder.
Walkers will meet at the Sul Ross Library Circle between 5:30 and 6 and walk down Sul Ross Avenue to the Brewster County Courthouse.
A presentation will be there with refreshments to follow.
Participants are asked to wear purple in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month. For more information, see the Alpine Fire Facebook page or call 800/834-0654.
The next training by the Sul Ross Small Business Development Center will be on Selling Food
Prepared at Home and the Texas Cottage Food Law.
It will be by Zoom Webinar from 10 to 11 tomorrow.
To open a business selling food you make, you will usually need an inspected commercial kitchen to prepare the food and to comply with the zoning laws.
But Texas has a “Cottage Food Law” that allows entrepreneurs to prepare certain types of food at home for sale to the public.
Instructor Andrea Beleno Harrington will review the law and how it can apply to enterprising chefs.
She is an attorney and the small business nonprofits team manager for Texas Rio Grande Legal Aid
