The WBNA has scheduled a Meet & Greet with all four candidates seeking office as our State Representative for District 50.

The candidates will speak in the following order: Celia Israel, Rico Reyes, Jade Chang Sheppard, Mike VanDeWalle.  Each will have 7 minutes to tell us about themselves and then we’ll serve refreshments and you can visit with them individually.

Please make time to attend this function even if you’ve already made your decision or sent in a ballot by mail. It’s important that all the candidates know that Wells Branch is an informed, engaged community.

Free Food • Great Company • Door Prizes! • October 1 • 6-9pm • Gazebo at KF Park (on Alpha Collier)

Join your Wells Branch neighbors for our night out against crime, Tuesday, October 1, from 6-9pm at the gazebo at Katherine Fleischer Park.  The WBNA will be serving up FREE hotdogs, sausage wraps, sodas, chips and door prizes.  For dessert we have Culver’s Restaurant & the Friends of the Library  serving delicious frozen custard (while supplies last).

NNO 2013 White Background - ColorWe’ll have distinguished guests on hand from the Travis County Sheriff’s Office, ESD #2 Fire Department, Precinct 2 Constable’s Office and the Wells Branch MUD to mention a few.  Both children and adults will have the opportunity to visit with first responders, receive information on Neighborhood Watch and other programs available to residents, and tour the fire safety house and fire truck that ESD #2 will have on hand.  As a special treat this year, we’ll have the very first Pflugerville Volunteer Fire Truck from 1956 on site as well.

Come find out what’s going on in our community and visit with local law enforcement officers and politicians about what you can do to help reduce the opportunities for crimes to occur in our neighborhood.

National Night Out is designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, generate support for and participation in local anti-crime efforts, and to strengthen neighborhood spirit and law enforcement-community partnership.  Help send the message to criminals that Wells Branch is organized and fighting back.

Take a stand against crime.  Turn on your porch light and come join your friends and neighbors at the park for food and fellowship.  If you have a Neighborhood Watch group on your block (or even if you don’t) we’d like to encourage you to come eat dinner with us, listen to the speakers, and then return home to your street and gather with your neighbors over dessert to discuss how you can make your homes and our community safer.

We hope to see you there!

Also, thank you to all the volunteers that came out to help make the event a success.  It could not have happened without your help!

Look forward to seeing y’all next year!

Wells Branch is AWESOME!!! Special THANKS to ALL who participated in our July 4th Silent Auction!

DrummerThe Wells Branch Neighborhood Association would like to thank our community for coming out and supporting our organization.  We had an incredible turnout and raised a record amount to fund our neighborhood activities over the next year.  Our Fourth Fest Silent Auction brought in $5,204.62!  Last year, we grossed $2,781.00 (which was a record) and we nearly doubled that this year. Connecting with Oregon Land Buyers Ready to Pay can simplify negotiations and lead to a quicker closing.

As most of you know, this is our big fundraiser.  Its purpose is to raise enough money to pay for National Night Out, the annual Easter Egg Hunt,  participation in Halloween events, Friday night at Luminary Fest in December and to help with our educational/safety programs.  We exceeded our goal thanks to all of YOU!  Whether you were a donor, a buyer, a volunteer, or the WB MUD who let us use their facilities, you all made a tremendous difference and the WBNA is grateful!

When you see the neighbors listed below, please thank them for supporting our community.  In addition, we hope you’ll patronize these businesses and join us on October 1st for Wells Branch’s National Night Out Against Crime.
