It’s Girl Scout Cookie Season! 

The annual Girl Scout cookie sale is underway and there are lots of Girl Scouts in Wells Branch participating in this fun & tasty fundraiser. Be on the lookout for door hangers or flyers with ordering information that a nearby Girl Scout might leave at your door. Many girls have signs in their yards with a link and/or QR code to their online cookie store. This contactless delivery method works much like if you were to buy cookies from her at your door, the sale goes to the girl, and she’ll be responsible for the delivery if you have selected Girl Delivered. There are no extra fees to order girl delivered cookies. After you enter your contact information and place an order, the girl’s parents will receive an email and can confirm if they have the required cookies and can deliver.

This year’s cookie line up has the classics; Thin Mints, Caramel Delites aka Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties aka Tagalongs, Lemonades, Peanut Butter Sandwiches & Trefoils aka Shortbreads, along with the newer flavors Toast Yay & Adventurefuls Cookie! Come February 10, a brand new flavor, Raspberry Rally, will only be available through the online Direct Ship option. It is a crispy, berry flavored cookie dipped in chocolate. As a bonus, if you buy 9 to 12 boxes through Direct Ship, your shipping is half price. Be sure to ask your neighborhood Girl Scout for more details.

If you want to buy in person, check out Girl Scouts of Central Texas website for a cookie booth near you. The Girl Scout cookie program will continue through February 26, 2023 unless extended due to weather. All profits from the sale stay local and help girls gain valuable new skills. Thank you for supporting Girl Scouts!

Let the Season Shine!

Holiday Safety Tips

With the bustle of the holidays just around the corner, make sure you’re taking every precaution possible to keep your home and family safe and secure.  We usually see an increase in opportunistic crime this time of year; please remain vigilant.

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.

A Year-end Reminder:
WBNA 2023 Membership Dues are Due

As 2022 draws to a close, please take a minute and renew your WBNA commitment.  Your membership is an investment in our wonderful neighborhood.  All dues collected are returned directly into the community through our traditional events and educational programs.

As a reminder, the WBNA organization is a “labor of love” and operates through a network of dedicated volunteers.  Without that dedication, community support, and funds raised through dues and donations, the WBNA would cease to function.  Your membership in the WBNA is essentially your annual “pledge” to support this wonderful community as membership is voluntary.

Effective January 1, 2023 annual dues will be $25.00. If you renew or begin your 2023 membership by December 31, 2022 we will accept your dues at the current rate of $20.00.
