Come lend a hand! Volunteers will pick up litter, spread mulch around trees in the greenbelt to fight the effects of drought and soil compaction, remove invasive ligustrum, and they will plant several new trees purchased by the Wells Branch Disc Golf Club.

Register Wells Branch!by Debby Thompson, WBNA President
Okay folks, it’s an election year and we need to get people registered – ALL our Wells Branch people 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 like. This enables you to be a source to new neighbors, at events, church, and social groups. It’s a great service for all you realtors out there – offer to register clients at their new address when you close on their homes. If you plan on volunteering for a campaign, it’s a benefit you can offer when block walking or at campaign events. Neighborhood Watch Block Captains, start now! Make it a routine. New neighbors? Ask & offer to register.
