Brush Country Trail Clearing – May 4th, 2009
Posted by Nick Weynand in Brush Country Trail on May 6th, 2009
We had a very successful trail work day last Saturday in Westcreek!
Attached are a few photos of some of our accomplishments and the people who made it happen. OHTA volunteers included Rick, Tom, Cliff, Beki, Ralph, Nancy, David R., David H., and Trudy. Thanks to Westcreek neighbors Chad and Kim Warren for donating the limestone rocks for the stairs that Rick, David, and Beki built.
Please get out and enjoy the trail! Your footsteps will help keep the weeds down.

May 2009 Winners
Posted by Nick Weynand in Yard of the Month on May 1st, 2009
Story by Judy Jefferson
Lisa and Joe Payne, with their daughter Elizabeth ( 4 1/2 years old) are the Westcreek May Yard of the Month winners!
The Yard of the Month winners for May are Lisa and Joe Payne at 4801 Summerset Trail. They have enjoyed living in Westcreek for the past three years. Before deciding on types of plants, design of the pathways around the garden and overall structure, the Payne’s first turned for ideas from a professional gardener. They wanted year ’round interests in their garden — not just in the spring and summer — and also wanted drought-tolerant plants, which was challenging because most of their yard has shaded areas.
Lisa and Joe both enjoy gardening and Joe built the trellis in their own yard with help from his next-door neighbor. He’s also planted vegetables in the Sunshine Community Garden near his work. Lisa told me their garden is still “a work in progress”.
Lisa and Joe were presented with a $25 gift card from Randalls and a $50 gift card from Emerald Garden. Be sure to support Randalls and Emerald Garden in return for their generosity to Westcreek!

Meet at the large pile of brush in the middle of the trail area. Please bring wheelbarrows, heavy rakes, tree trimmers, gloves, etc.
Rick Perkins of Oak Hill Trails Assoc is looking for some stone paver material. They want to build some steps somewhere at the end of the trail near Monterey Oaks. His email is rperkins8503@att.net.

Westcreek will hold a neighborhood wide garage sale on Saturday, May 16th.
The normal rules apply: you put up your own signs and have the garage sale on your property. And when the day is over, you take down your signs around the neighborhood.
The WNA will run an ad in the Austin American-Statesman the day before and also in the Oak Hill Gazette the week prior to the sale.
Happy selling!

UPDATE: The date has changed to Tuesday, May 5th.

You will need to bring your child’s immunization record, social security card (or number) and birth certificate. Please also bring your driver’s license and a utility bill, lease, or mortgage agreement for proof of your address. Although the school can make a copy of these documents, the registration process will go much faster if you bring your own copies to leave with the registrar in addition to the original forms.
