The SRCC Annual Potluck & Election TUESDAY March 6

Tuesday, March 6th 6pm
Grace United Methodist Church 205 East Monroe  

  Kids Welcome!

While courts up and down the judicial system continue to debate the voting maps in Texas, we are happy to say that our neighborhood zones have not yet been part of the gerrymandering. So come on down! Join your neighbors in the ‘hood for the annual potluck and elections for the executive board.

The 2011 SRCC executive team has been excellent. They have advanced the organization’s administration to more efficient ways of communicating, record keeping and collaboration by creating a new website and using online calendars, postings, archives, etc. This is the time to come by and give thanks for all of their work. A special thank you goes to Sarah Campbell, who after three years as a forward thinking and democratic president, is stepping down. We are fortunate that several current members have agreed to serve again, if elected, in 2012. The nominee slate is:

President: Marc Davis (VP since 2009)
Vice President: Carol Martin (Communications Chair since 2010; Membership Chair as long as she can remember)
Secretary: Garret Nick (Secretary since 2007)
Treasurer: Les Case (Treasurer since July 2011)

Nominations will be accepted from the floor. Anyone wishing to run for the office is encouraged to contact Sarah Campbell, our current President or any of the other officers prior to the Tuesday March 6th meeting.

Norwood Stories #4…. A New Foundation

On February 15 the Norwood Posse dismounted and was replaced by the Norwood Park Foundation (NPF). The NPF is many of the same members but now with the legal capability to sign a contract with the city to restore/rehabilitate the Norwood House. With that goal in mind we will be presenting our restoration/operation/maintenance proposal to PARD very soon. Continue reading →

Save the Date: It’s My Park Day!

Together with the Austin Parks Foundation, we will have an It’s My Park Day event in Blunn Creek Nature Preserve on Saturday morning, March 3, 2012. We are still working on the details, but most likely it will involve some sawing, some clipping, some clearing, some trail work, some trash-pickup—and some guaranteed fun. Please pencil in the date.
There should be a registration page available in mid February. In the meantime, please feel free to email me if you have any questions.  David Todd, dtodd@wt.org, http://blunncreekpartnership.ning.com/
