Please come to the Neighborhood Partnering Program (NPP) meeting this Saturday from 12:30-2:30 at the North Village Library. This City program helps neighborhood groups cost-share small and medium sized neighborhood projects on City owned property or in the City’s right-of-way and may be a way for North Shoal Creek to get some neighborhood improvements sooner rather than later.
You’ll learn about how the NPP works, and you’ll be asked for your ideas about what projects we need. The deadline for filing an application is October 1, so we need to get to work fast!
Please don’t miss this important meeting.

We want to hear your ideas on how to make our neighborhood even better. We have already received suggestions for a

Hi neighbors! I have been collecting Styrofoam and taking it to a recycling center since last summer. I finally found the fabric that I was looking for to sew a couple of nets and establish a drop-off center at Pillow. So please hang on to your Styrofoam until I announce that the nets will be ready at Pillow for drop off.
If you have a lot and can’t wait a couple of weeks, here is the info on the Recycling Center in South Austin; it’s open 6 days a week:
