Join us for the final two FOL adult educational programs in the Financial Foundations series.  The main target phrase that has emerged from this educational series is: “Failing to plan now for the future, leads to a plan that fails later when you need it the most.”

As highlighted in the earlier sessions.  The main focus of this program is to educate all age groups on the foundations of personal finance and how to maximize your resources.  Nothing will be sold.  This is a FREE workshop, offered to the entire Wells Branch community. Light refreshments will be provided. Continue reading FOL Financial Foundations Sessions 4 & 5 →

Attn:  RRISD Parents & Taxpayers!

The WBNA hosted a brief informational presentation on the Round Rock School District’s current bond proposals up for consideration in the May 6 election on Tuesday, April 25.  Here’s the link to the recording:  https://www.facebook.com/205101652856649/videos/1541236522576482/

Early voting continues through next Tuesday, May 2 with the general election on Saturday, May 6.  Please see the article below for polling places in Wells Branch.  We encourage you to seek information from every source, ask questions and make informed decisions.  Your vote is your voice!

A PAC has formed in support of the bonds (you’ve probably gotten the mailer) and parents have created a campaign to fight the bonds (in their current form).  In the interest of providing our residents with as much information as possible, here are links to each of their sites.  PLEASE research all sides and most importantly, VOTE!

Early Voting Sites in Wells Branch

We are so fortunate this election cycle to have early voting right here in WB for Travis County residents nearly every single day it’s offered!  Below is the schedule.  RRISD residents have $572 million in bonds to vote on and PfISD residents are electing school board trustees.  Both districts have extremely important choices to make.

I sent out two emails earlier with links for the individual districts and posted them to the WBNA, WB Melting Pot, and the WB Parents Facebook pages if you’d like to share them.  Both posts are non-partisan and include links for both sides on the bond issues and each of the PfISD candidates.

This is your chance to have a voice and the best way for school boards and trustees to know that Wells Branch is an informed and involved community.  The voting booths are coming to us!  There’s no excuse not to VOTE!  The polls will be open each day from 7am to 7pm.
