Norwood House Update (and Volunteer Opportunity)

Norwood Foundation

The Norwood Park Foundation announced several exciting updates on their progress in March. Accomplishments included completion of the new foundation, stabilization of the house’s wood structure and schematic plan finalization prior to additional fundraising. With a grant from SRCC, the Foundation has also been able to clear invasive tree and plant growth to reveal a beautiful view of the Lake and downtown Austin.

Calling All Volunteers! In partnership with Keep Austin Beautiful, the Foundation is hosting a trash cleanup at the Norwood House from 9-11 AM on Saturday, April 11. Please sign up to help out at the Keep Austin Beautiful website. Scroll down to “Norwood Park Foundation” cleanup to register.

Keep track of the progress at the Norwood Park Foundation website!

St. Edwards – The Big Event

From St. Edwards:

We are pleased to invite you to participate as a professional service site
for The Big Event. The Big Event, one of St. Edward’s University’s largest
annual service projects, is hosted by the Student Government Association. It
is an opportunity to serve to the area around our campus, and to thank all
of you, our neighbors, for being a part of our community. Giving back is a
vital part of the St. Edward’s Mission Statement, and we hope that you allow
us the opportunity to give big and give back in your neighborhood!

The Big Event will be held Saturday, April, 11th, 2015. We will be sending
students around 10:00 a.m. to your neighborhood, to help out in any way we
can until 12:30 p.m. Some examples of jobs we can perform are lawn work,
painting, washing windows, or trimming trees. Of course, these are only
examples and we are willing and able to do anything that might be needed or
helpful.

If you interested in having volunteers sent to you as a service site, please
fill out the job request form included. Be sure to indicate what you would
like done, how many students you think you may need, what tools/materials
you have, and what materials we need to bring. Please don’t be shy about how
much work you would like done or how many students you request. Also, if you
know of a neighbor who could use some help, please feel free to contact us
and we will make sure to stop by their house. We are enthusiastic and
excited to come out and help give back!

You may send the request form back via mail, email, fax, or fill it out
electronically at http://think.stedwards.edu/studentlife/bigevent by Friday
March 27th at 5 p.m.

If you have any questions, please feel free give us a call or email us at
bigevent@stedwards.edu We look forward to receiving your requests and
serving you!

Best,

The Big Event Committee 2015

Google Fiber Deadline Today

Google Fiber

Today is the last day for residential signups for Google Fiber installations for addresses in the Lady Bird Lake “fiberhood”. Refer to the map above and at Google Fiber’s website for more details. The Lady Bird Lake area generally includes South Austin addresses east of South Congress, west of I-35 and north of Oltorf St. Fiber installation is scheduled to start immediately, so trucks and crews should be increasingly visible on the street.

If you are in the Ben White fiberhood, you still have until June 4 to sign up for construction. Ben White includes addresses south of Oltorf St. on both sides of I-35. See map below.
