SPRING FLING A BIG HIT Jennifer Rizkalla Our first annual Spring Fling was a terrific success. We had a great turn-out of more than 60 folks throughout the day. For those that attended, we want to thank you for bringing out your best side dishes and desserts to share. The judges for the pie contest were happy to take on a role that was well worth it. 1st place went to Nancy Holt for her Buttermilk Pecan pie and 2nd place went to Christine Kent for her chocolate cream pie. COVNA provided Austin-favorite Rudy's BBQ. A special thanks to Nelisa and Dean Heddin for providing the ultimate backyard setting with bocce ball, a bounce house, and swing sets for the young residents and comfortable seating on their new deck for the rest of us. Our goal is to create a stronger network here in the neighborhood to continue to grow a safer place for residents and help address concerns for the neighborhood as they arise. If you have not joined COVNA, please consider doing so at this time. The cost is only ten dollars. Print out a membership at COVNA.org/membership or contact Hal Ferguson, our treasurer, at 282-0601. We want to give a very special thanks to the sponsors of this event. A huge thanks to the following neighbors; Jessica DeLeon, Hannah Wolniewitz, and Dean Heddin.

| WATER RESTRICTIONS Stage 2 Watering Restrictions Still in Effect for Austin Water Customers Austin Water wants to remind you that Stage
2 Watering Restrictions are still in effect for Austin Water
customers. The combined levels of Lakes Buchannan and Travis
are less than half full. Even though the recent rains have lessened
the effects of the drought and added more water to the lakes,
Lake Travis is 29 feet below its normal for May and Lake Buchanan
is 16 feet below normal for this time of year. |
