Greetings, All! As many of you may have noticed, the first (and less expensive) "L" of the oak wilt prevention trenching has been completed on Newning. We still need approximately $5,000 to finish the other portion of the trench. So, because we need money and because we'll have a great time . . .
Please come to Guero's Beer Garden on Tuesday evening, May 19, from 5:30 to 9:00. $10 admission (children under 12 free) will get you live performances by Matt the Electrician, Elizabeth Wills and Jon Dee Graham under one of the neighborhood's most beautiful oaks. Appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages are provided by Guero's, alcohol will be available for a modest sum and there will be a great Silent Auction with items showcasing our many talented neighbors. And --late-breaking development -- the incomparable Stuart Moulton of Austin Cabaret (and Green Mango Realty) will serve as emcee for this party. (I don't want to ruin the fun but I'll just tell you this gentleman is a first-rate Carol Channing impersonator!)
I hope you will join us to celebrate a successful closure to this battle of the oak wilt war. Thanks for all your support and generosity this spring!
