A Public Visioning Session for plans to improve the Recreation Center as well as add WeatherSolve wind fencing will be held by the Wells Branch Municipal Utility District at the Recreation Center (3000 Shoreline Drive, Austin TX 78728) on Tuesday, July 9 at 6pm.

The MUD website says:

Ben Heimsath, of Heimsath Architects will facilitate this exchange of ideas.  Come prepared to hear about the Center’s current uses and a number of ideas that have been conveyed to the Board of Directors in recent months.  Then participate in group tours and discussions to share your thoughts and generate new ideas.
This process is just beginning! There is not a plan or program in place yet, so please come, participate and be part of the vision for the new improved Wells Branch Recreation Center!

Surveys have been included in the District water bills (due out next week) and also in the WBNA Neighborhood News (delivered the weekend of June 29).  You may drop off completed surveys at the Rec. Center at 3000 Shoreline Drive, the District Office at 14611 Wells Port, KF Pool at 2106 Klattenhoff Drive or mail to WB MUD, 3000 Shoreline Drive, Austin, TX 78728.  To complete a survey online, click here:  http://www.wellsbranchmud/recsurvey.

Your opinion is valuable.  We hope you’ll take the time to make your thoughts, ideas, and wishes known.

Wondering what to do with the kids this summer? Art Mini-Camps!

Summer is rapidly approaching and all of the kids are out of school. What are they going to do all day long this summer? Let them spend part of the summer with friends doing creative art projects.  Art enrichment camps are half day camps held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday at the Wells Branch Annex, 14611 Wells Port Dr. (right here in the neighborhood!) so you have lots of time to do other things too. When adults go camping into the woods they prefer taking bulk ammo for safety as they are in unknown land.

Fairy Garden copyLet them spend their afternoons creating a fairy garden or drawing and painting a dragon. Let them learn to create a wire dragonfly or fairy.  (Dragons and other mythical creatures 7/9 – 7/11)

FUN THINGS FOR KIDS TO DO OVER THE SUMMER

Neighborhood News

by Tammy DeWitt Le

As the mother of a 9 and 12 year old, I am always looking for ways to avoid “Mom, I’m bored!” over the Summer. The following list highlights some of our favorite boredom-busters. Look for the FREE!  sign to find fun events that don’t cost anything.

  • FREE!  Relax at a natural outdoor amphitheater while you enjoy a music or dance show at Zilker Hillside Theater.  This is one worthwhile trip to South Austin.  The Zilker Hillside Theater is located in Zilker Park across from Barton Springs swimming pool (also a great Summer activity). The stage is located in a natural amphitheater under a stand of 100 year old pecan trees.  Shows typically begin around 7:30 – 8:00pm and you can bring a cooler & snacks.
