GARDENING TIPS AND CENSUS INFO AT MEETING MONDAY FEBRUARY 8 – 7 PM AT CROWE’S NEST FARM
Our meeting Monday February 8 promises to be fun, fruitful, and full of information! Ms. Vicki (Dempsey) Blachman, a certified Master Gardener, will give us pointers on how we can have successful gardens for both vegetables and flowers. She has been gardening in Texas for over 40 years and has authored herb articles in Texas Gardener. Mr. Gabriel Perales, a Partnership Specialist for the United States Census, will give us information about the 2010 Census and how important it is that everyone in our neighborhood be counted: it affects our representation in Congress, how much federal and state dollars we receive, and private companies use the data to determine where to build and invest.
Please attend—it’s a great chance to meet your neighbors, to learn interesting stuff -- and don’t forget to bring your questions!
The meeting will be held at Crowe’s Nest Farm, 10300 Taylor Lane (just south of Blake-Manor Road) beginning at 7 PM on Monday, February 8. Please come and invite a neighbor to come with you and join Park Springs Neighborhood Association!

As we've reported previously, there are two VERY large developments proposed in PSNA's territory: Eastwood and Whisper Valley. I want to take this opportunity to give all members more information about Eastwood, which is now in the process of trying to get approval from the Austin Zoning and Platting Commission.
Report of May 11 Meeting. These are my notes from our meeting. John Williams and I wanted to provide this information for members even before “minutes” are approved. – Allen Davisson, Secretary.
Austin City Council has voted to deed this land to Travis County to realign the roadway. This will allow for the much needed improvement to change the blind corner, that has been the site of many an accident, to a sweeping curve.
Kudos to the PSNA members that stood behind this issue and pushed it through to action. Another solid win for the neighborhood.
