The Austin Chronicle is working with Austin Energy on a program to get folks to save energy this summer.   There will be contests for individuals, businesses and neighborhoods to see who can do the most to cut down their electric bills over the months of June, July, August and September.   When I have some more info I will send it along and maybe we can get Rollingwood to participate.  The Chronicle will publish a big “Green” issue on May 25 is kick off the contest, in the meantime you can check it out here.

Here is a link to the Statesman’s coverage of the Armbrust & Brown settlement.

“Armbrust and Brown negotiated the contract between Rollingwood and the LCRA. At issue was whether the firm informed city leaders that it was working for both entities during the negotiation. Also at issue is whether the contract adequately protected the city.”

The Rollingwood Neighborhood Association would like to give a wholehearted thanks to everyone who helped make this fun event such a great success!   Flagship Randall’s and Seattle’s Best Coffee donated (or tried to donate)  our refreshments and a small army of volunteers were willing to brave the cold windy rain to set up Saturday morning, and then again on Easter Afternoon.   I’d like to give special thanks to our new neighbor Lisa Serface and her family for chairing the event with me and taking it over next year!   I’d also like to give huge thanks to Dale Dingley,  Liz Krakow, Ken Krakow, Troye Campbell, Lisa Kirkpatrick, Jaye Lynn Russell, Kelton Spillar, Bea and Philip Howe, John Carleton, John and Sharon Williams, and everyone else who had a hand in the Easter Egg Hunt.  Your time and enthusiasm are much appreciated by all of us!

Cath Polito in second year as chair of Heroes of Central Texas Celebration

Most people who volunteer for the American Red Cross help with programs such as disaster relief services or service to military families and training, but Westbank resident Cath Polito has volunteered in a different way; she helps raise money so these services can be provided.

Polito, executive director of the Center for Lifelong Engineering Education at UT, is serving in her second year as chair of the committee for the American Red Cross’ premiere fundraising event – the Heroes of Central Texas Celebration.

“My primary job is to solicit money for corporate sponsorships,” said Polito, who has been on the board of directors for almost three years. “I am inspired by this incredible event because it honors people who have performed selfless acts throughout our community – ordinary people doing extraordinary things – our everyday heroes!”

“I choose to volunteer for the American Red Cross because it is an organization that gives to the community in all times of need,” Polito continued. “One thing most people don’t know about our chapter is that we respond to a disaster somewhere in our nine counties every other day. We hope that through this Heroes event, many people and corporations will build long-term partnerships with the Red Cross and continue giving their time and support for future needs.”

The American Red Cross of Central Texas serves the counties of Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Lee, Llano, Milam, Travis and Williamson. American Red Cross assistance is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for emergency and disaster-caused needs. Central Texans who wish to make a financial contribution to the American Red Cross of Central Texas can call 800 or 512-928-4271, send a financial contribution to 2218 Pershing Drive, Austin, 78723 or make a secure on-line donation at www.centex.redcross.org. For information on Red Cross services or volunteer opportunities please call 800 or 512-928-4271 or look online at www.centex.redcross.org.

WHEN: Friday, April 20; Doors open at 6:30pm, dinner begins at 7pm

WHERE: Sheraton Hotel, 701 E. 11^th St., Austin

TICKETS: Call 512-929-1276 or online at www.centex.redcross.org;
