Went to the 10th anniversary TexArts Gala last night and had a wonderful time! Lots of talent and I hope they raised a bunch of money so they can continue to provide their wonderful service to the community! Many thanks to Sandy Cox for her dedication to TexArts!
As I'm sure you noticed, a couple of big things happened this week. HEB opened their doors on October 28th with GREAT fanfare! What a beautiful store. Lots of specials and great products plus wonderful service. They donated $15,000 to the Lake Travis Education Foundation as an opening gift - they will be a GREAT addition to the City.
The other big happening that affected many residents was the overlay project. They have finished East of Lohmans and are half done with the road West of Lohmans. As soon as it dries out, they will finish up and do the stripping. They have also done several of the internal streets at the same time. Please have a little more patience and it will be done soon!
