Elected Officials Reception
Thursday, February 26, 7pm
WB Community Center

The WBNA will be hosting a reception for our newly elected local officials on Thursday, February 26, 2015 at the Wells Branch Community Center from 7:00-8:30pm.

This is your chance to meet the people who represent you in our local government.  State Representative for District 50, Celia Israel and our new Pct. 2 Travis County Commissioner, Brigid Shea will be on hand to meet our Wells Branch community.

A longtime public servant, Commissioner Shea is serving in a new position and although Representative Israel was re-elected to the House, this is her first legislative session.  Both have new and exciting plans and goals that could potentially affect Wells Branch.

We hope you’ll bring your friends and neighbors as this is an excellent opportunity to meet our local officials and get to know each of them a little better. Refreshments will be served.

Solarize Wells Branch

by June Oliver, WB Solar Advocate

Our project that started with the Wells Branch Solar Energy Fair in October 2014 continues. The current objective is to find one vendor that will deliver quality Solar PV installations with a discount. In return, the Solarize project gives the vendor a number of qualified and educated potential customers in a small geographic area. The 2014/2015 Solarize Wells Branch Project enrollment is OPEN for Wells Branch residents and neighboring communities.

As homeowners increasingly recognize the benefits of solar power, implementing solar panels in homes has become a desirable option. Beyond the advantages of community-based group purchase projects like Solarize, individuals who choose to adopt rooftop solar PV systems can experience a negative amount on electricity bill. By harnessing the power of the sun, homeowners have the potential to generate their own clean energy and even generate a surplus that can be fed back into the grid, resulting in a negative amount on their electricity bills. This not only promotes sustainable living but also provides long-term financial benefits. With the guidance and support provided by initiatives like Solarize, homeowners can navigate the process of adopting solar power with ease and confidence, leading to a more environmentally conscious and cost-effective energy solution for their homes.

We have a plan for that!
