Week Ahead News

Well, the City was really quiet last week, but it looks like it's picking up this week. At least things are happening in Lakeway!

From Rachel Wallace: Administrative Assistant

You're Invited to the Activity Center Grand Re-opening on Friday, January 6th! We are welcoming the community to a grand re-opening party to celebrate a dramatic new makeover that has just been completed by Calming Spaces Interiors, Design & Remodeling at the Lakeway Activity Center, 105 Cross Creek Road, from 7 - 9 PM on Friday, January 6th. Entertainment will include live music, refreshments and door prizes.

Lake Travis Parade of Champions ~ Saturday January 7th - The Lake Travis Independent School District, the City of Bee Cave, and the Hill Country Galleria will kick off the New Year in grand style as together they recognize the largest number of students ever during the Lake Travis Parade of Champions. The LT community is invited to celebrate our historic five-time state champion Cavaliers football team, our record-setting two-time state champion Lady Cavs volleyball team, our 2011 state champion boys' golf team, our 2011 state runner-up girls' golf team, our state runner-up tennis team, our state finalist Mighty Cavalier Marching Band and our 2011 National Merit Scholarship Program honorees.

The festivities will begin with live music in the amphitheater prior to the parade. The parade will begin at 5:00 p.m. near Dillard's and conclude at the opposite end of the Galleria near Zinger's. A fireworks display will follow the awards ceremony. All visitors are asked to please park in the garages as Main Street will be closed during the festivities.

Lakeway Mayor’s Fitness Council 2012 Buddy Weight Loss Challenge Begins Monday, January 9th - The 2012 City of Lakeway sponsored Weight Loss Challenge will be a buddy (team) challenge. We have seen phenomenal results when husband/wife or friends join our challenges together. Team members can create healthy competition amongst themselves and also provide extra support on a daily basis. So, bring your spouse, neighbor, friend, relative or favorite hairstylist and join the Lakeway Mayor’s Fitness Council 2012 Buddy Weight Loss Challenge. If you do not have a buddy to bring, you can compete individually or team up with another person at the initial class. Prizes will be awarded to the teams who lose the largest percentage of weight relative to the team’s total weight. Classes will meet on Mondays beginning January 9th through March 26th from 6 - 7 PM at the Activity Center located at 105 Cross Creek. This is a nutrition and healthy lifestyle class, not an exercise class. Cost for the entire series of classes is $30. Please call 261-1010 today to join!

GO GREEN! Receive Your Solid Waste Bill by E-mail
The City of Lakeway can now send quarterly solid waste bills electronically! This convenient method allows you to reduce paper waste and help the local environment. Electronic notifications are sent 1 to 2 days earlier than the paper bill.

Special Reminder: City of Lakeway Burn Ban Lifted
The Travis County Commissioners Court voted on Tuesday, November 22 to temporarily lift the burn ban for Travis County. In accordance with that action, Mayor Dave DeOme officially lifted the City of Lakeway’s Burn Ban, effective November 23, 2011.

Thanks Rachel!

Blood Drive News

Every 8 weeks 80+ potential donors show up to donate blood which is collected by a team from the Blood Center of Central Texas. In 2009, 2010 and again in 2011 our Lakeway Drive was the largest Community Blood Drive in the 10 county area served by the Blood Center of Central Texas. Our next Lakeway Community Blood Drive will be held at the Lakeway Activity Center on Saturday, January 21 from 8:00 AM until 12:00 PM.
Donors must be at least 17 years of age, weighing at least 115 lbs, and be in generally good health. Donors should know their social security number and bring a photo ID. The process takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

To make an appointment, please call Searcy Willis at (512) 261-9055. Walk-ins are always welcome, but may take longer, as appointments are honored. For more information about blood donation, please call (512) 206-1266, or visit the Center’s Web site at www.inyourhands.org.

I'll have more on meetings and agendas very soon.

Thanks for looking!
