Since 1985, the Wells Branch Neighborhood Association has been a unifying force in our great neighborhood and North Austin.  Our all-volunteer group are active members of our community and the region and many have continued in leadership roles in Wells Branch and beyond.

Our efforts have allowed Wells Branch to become one of the great communities in Austin and as partners with the Wells Branch MUD, led to the development of our extensive parks, the construction of the Community and Recreation Centers, protection of our schools, better traffic management and controls and equity with toll roads just to name a few.

As Wells Branch has evolved so has our Association.  Still, many of our long time residents remain active with the Association and continue such traditions as the publication of the Neighborhood News, the Easter Egg Hunt, and National Night Out.  This past year we added the Kids Summer Safety Seminar in conjunction with the MUD and hosted the Friday night portion of Luminary Fest.  In addition, we’ve had John Dromgoole out to speak on organic gardening this past spring, hosted a candidates forum for school board trustees and sponsored a self-protection class titled “Don’t Become a Victim” given by the Travis County Sheriff’s Office and a Teens & Moms Safety Seminar last November.

So far this spring, we’ve had two Safety related meetings with the Travis County Sheriff’s Office and have a repeat performance from John Dromgoole coming up.  This month, he’ll be speaking on Backyard Gardening and the next weekend we have the annual Easter Egg Hunt!  As you can see, we’re busy all the time.

Being a member is easy.  Though membership is voluntary, your $20 dues and our newsletter advertising are the only source of funding for the Association outside of the Silent Auction held on July 4^th which we use to support the Easter Egg Hunt and National Night Out.

Please download your Membership Form today and contact us to volunteer.  It will be well worth your time and effort to

“Keep Wells Branch Great!”

WBNA Board Update

WBNA Elections were held at the January 27 meeting.  The position of editor became a non-voting position, thus allowing an at-large position to be added.    The following officers were re-elected:  Debby Thompson, President; Lara Bennett, Vice President; Mike Howe, Treasurer; Tom Cheshire, Community Liason; Rachel LeBansky, Secretary; Pam Wachholz, Editor (non-voting).  Faye Cormier was elected to fill the At-Large position.

Shortly after the election, Rachel LeBansky resigned her position as Secretary.  We thank her for the time she’s given to help make Wells Branch a better community.  Rachel has promised to stay active in the community and continue to deliver newsletters.

At the WBNA board meeting on March 8, Linda Baird was appointed to fill the position of Secretary.

The WBNA welcomes input and involvement from everyone.  Please, join us!  We want to hear from you.  Tell us what you would like to see in the way of meetings and events and how we can help you become more involved in your community.
