The February issue of Seguin Magazine is always a special one, as this edition is the presentation of the Mary Lee Roberts Citizen of the Year and VISION Awards. In the fall we began accepting nominations from the community for individuals in our community who go above and beyond to make Seguin and Guadalupe County better places.

The recipients of these awards don’t normally go looking for recognition. They do such wonderful things from the goodness of their hearts and never think very much of it. That’s where we step in and make sure that these hometown heroes are given the recognition they deserve.

Inside this issue you will find stories about local citizens, from all walks of life, doing amazing things in our community. This is just a small snapshot as we are truly blessed to have so many wonderful people who devote their time and energy toward causes bigger than themselves.

You may or may not recognize some of these faces, but once you read their stories and all that they give back to Seguin and Guadalupe County, it may trigger a connection. I encourage each of you to find a way to give back to your community. It doesn’t have to be something big, just a little bit of your time to help those around you.

So, without further ado, I present to you the 2023 Mary Lee Roberts Citizen of the Year and VISION Award winners. Congratulations to all of the recipients and thank you for making Seguin the best place to be!
