2019 Soiree - Supporting Our Community

Presented by Don Hewlett Chevrolet Buick
All of the money raised through the 2019 Soiree will stay in Williamson County.
Hewlett Volkswagen's sister store, Don Hewlett Chevrolet Buick is proud to be the presenting sponsor of the 2019 Soiree A Coming Together for Kids  benefitting The Georgetown Project, Williamson County Children’s Advocacy Center, and Casa of Williamson County. This magical event will take place on February 16, 2019 at 6:00 pm at the Sheraton Hotel in Georgetown. 

The Georgetown Project
Their vision is that no child is hungry, hurt, alone or rejected, and that all children and youth believe they are loved, respected and treated with dignity. The Georgetown Project has served almost 25,000 Georgetown children and youth of all ages and from all walks of life in the past 20 years. They believe positive intergenerational relationships can make all the difference for young people. The Georgetown Project is the community leader in defining, mobilizing, and building collaborative partnerships that fill important gaps in community services along the ages and stages in a child's life. 
The Advocacy Center helps Williamson County's sexually and physically abused children in a child-friendly facility, where investigative agencies collaborate to put the child victim's best interests first. Their mission is to provide a safe place to report child abuse, reduce the emotional trauma for children and non-offending family members, and extend professional services that protect the integrity of an investigation.  All services continue to be free of charge to every family living in Williamson County.
When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to help them. That volunteer is called a court appointed Special Advocate, or CASA.  CASA volunteers are screened, highly trained, and then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child's best interest in the child protection system. CASA volunteers are each assigned to help one child or set of siblings at a time, so they can focus on giving that child or sibling group the individualized advocacy and attention they need.

Brett Weldon rejoins Team Hewlett

By Tom Fornshell, Service and Parts Manager There is a lot of talk about how important family is. It is fundamental to all of us and it is very important to me. It can either be our foundation or our undoing, a huge support structure or missing altogether… maybe all the above. Any way you have it, it influences the path we take in life. Hewlett Volkswagen is owned and run by an amazing family who teach me about generosity, respect, and caring every day. They make our store feel like home. Brett Weldon was a Volkswagen service consultant for sixteen years; and ten years with the Hewlett Family.   Good and high performing people in any industry are often lured away to different organizations hoping to capitalize on some of that performance. Such was the case with Brett. Heck, I don’t blame them, Brett is a Rockstar of customer service. Anyone that has had the fortune of dealing with him knows that. So, after a couple years of not so pleasant public perception of the ...

Why does it smell like old gym socks in my car when I turn on my air conditioner?

You can spray air freshener in your car or put a clippie thing (technical term) in your vent, but it will not solve the underlying issue. And hanging one of those pine tree fresheners from your rear-view mirror will just make your passengers ask: “did someone hang gym socks in a Christmas tree?” First, let me reassure you, the smell is not coming from you… its living in Texas. Second, if your car sits outside all the time, the odor can be even worse. But don’t worry, we can help! Air conditioners have a cold component behind your dash area called an evaporator. This is the part that makes your cabin air colder. And just like that icy cold glass of sweet tea on your table it sweats… a lot. In fact it sweats so much, there is a specialized drain for the case the evaporator sits in.   This thing leaks water all the time because the evaporator sweats; making it a great environment for bacteria and mold to grow. And, again, if your car sits outside where it gets up to the 9...
