Neighborhood Watch Meeting Tuesday, January 5, 7:00 PM

by

Hi everyone,

Concerned about the uptick in crime in our neighborhood? Wondering how you can make your home and community a little safer? Then please join us for a neighborhood watch/crime fighting meeting on Tuesday, January 5th at 7 pm at St. Mark’s Church (corner of Barton Hills Drive and Barton Skyway).

This meeting will be packed with excellent information about Neighborhood Watch and how you can help reduce criminal activity in our neighborhood. Learn about:

  • volunteer neighborhood patrols 
  • tips on making your home more secure for under $5
  • having an Austin Police officer evaluate your home for increased protection

Austin Police Officers and neighborhood watch volunteers will be there to respond to specific concerns.

Please come and DO invite a neighbor who isn’t on this list. See you then! The meeting will only take about an hour.

For more information on the Neighborhood Watch Program or to become a volunteer contact the amazing John Luther (he’s like our own neighborhood superhero) at jluther@austin.rr.com.

Warmly,

Wendy Papasan
President, Barton Hills Neighborhood Assn.

Greenbelt Fans,

The creek is flowing! And we need more hands on deck for our work day this Saturday at the Homedale Trail. Come celebrate Halloween with us as we spook the weeds and invasives and organize some windrows, lay some stepping stones, and clean out the trash. RSVP soon so we can order enough Maria’s tacos treats to get us started.

Costumes welcome! We’ve got the supplies and tools, we need the hands and hearts.

Location: Homedale Entry, 2010 Homedale, behind Barton Hills Elementary School
Time: 9 am – 1 pm

Thanks, look forward to working with you.

Barton Hills School Carnival, Friday Oct. 23, 6PM-9PM

by

Pull out your compass and get set for another adventurous carnival at Barton Hills Elementary School!

If you’ve never been to the annual fundraiser get ready, you’re in for a treat! This Friday, October 23rd, from 6-9pm hundreds of neighbors will converge upon the elementary school to jump in bouncy houses, throw beanbags at their favorite teachers hoping they will get dunked, eat all sorts of delicious treats, play games, win prizes, run shrieking through a maze and generally have the best time ever!

This year’s theme is exploration – think maps, oceanic creatures, ice fishing, a chopstick challenge and food from every continent – there’s something everyone will enjoy! So pull on your hiking books and climb Mt. Everest to the
best carnival yet!
