Keep your blinds and drapes closed when away, even if only for a short period of time.

Keep your house well lit at night (backyard included).  A motion sensor activated light is an inexpensive deterrent.

brent-baggett-composite-copyWB Residents Choose Art for New Complex

Thank you for taking the time to vote for your artwork preference to be located at Art at Bratton’s Edge.  With an overwhelming majority, Brent Baggett’s “Eyes on the Future” has been selected by  Wells Branch residents.  This complex stainless steel sculpture will be installed on-site in time for the grand opening celebration and can be appreciated as a new perspective from different angles of the surrounding community.

Art at Bratton’s Edge should be complete by November 2016.  The first tenants are expected to move in late October.  The property began leasing in August and is currently 46% leased.  They hope to have a grand opening celebration some time in mid-November and invite the Wells Branch community to join them.  Tours of the property will be available.

Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrar Training THIS Thursday, May 19! 

It’s an election year and we need to get ALL of our Wells Branch neighbors registered!   In order to accomplish this, we need volunteers.  It only takes an hour of your time to get certified and you can be as involved (or uninvolved) as you’d like.  Training enables you to be a resource to new neighbors, at community events, school, church, and social groups.

If you’d like to be a part of this effort (however big or small), we have a training session set for Thursday, May 19, at 6:30pm at the Rec. Center, 3000 Shoreline Drive.  We need an approximate head count so that Travis County can bring adequate supplies.  Please reserve your spot at vote@wbna.us.  Questions? Call 512-656-0654.

Volunteer to Keep Wells Branch
Beautiful at “It’s My Park Day”

Saturday, March 5 • 9am-Noon • WB Disc Golf Course

by Brian Litke

Join Wells Branch for “It’s My park Day,” an Austin Parks Foundation (APF) annual event to get the public involved in sprucing up their local parks. APF provides free mulch, tools and other supplies for the project. Volunteers are invited to a cleanup day at the WB Disc golf Park on Saturday, March 5, from 9am-Noon. Our monthly KWBB event will coincide with “It’s My Park Day” on Saturday instead of Sunday this month!

KWBB volunteers will pull invasive plants out of the creek bed, help plant trees purchased by the WB Disc Golf Club, cleanup litter and spread mulch around the disc golf course tee boxes. Please wear long-sleeve shirts and closed-toe shoes. It’s our opportunity to make (and keep) Wells Branch the cleanest, most beautiful community in Texas! Volunteers will receive a free “It’s My park Day” t-shirt and snacks will be provided.
