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.
