2010 LAKEWAY PHOTO FESTIVAL

The Lakeway Arts & Beautification Committee announces the ninth annual Photo Festival on Sunday, October 24, 2010, 3 to 5 p.m. at the Lakeway Activity Center, Room F.

Summer is a good time to take photographs of our community, events, travel,　and work done by volunteers to submit for Photo Festival in the fall. Citizens, young and old, are urged to participate. Deliver photos (maximum of six per person) of any common print size (4x6, 5x7, 8x10) to the Activity Center during the month of September. Deadline will be Friday, October 8. Removable stick-on labels will identify the photographer, address, telephone number, and a signed release covering usage and liability will be required for each photo. Photographers need to identify which of the following categories best fits their entry,

Lakeway Nature: Parks, greenbelts, flowers, birds, animals and other nature scenes.

Lakeway Events: Parades, picnics, concerts, plays, festivals, etc.

Lakeway Volunteers: People in action serving the community

Lakeway Travelers: Scenes or activities anywhere, as long as at least one Lakeway person is

included in the photo.

Portraits: Portraits of people or pets, not limited to Lakeway

Other Subjects: Anything of interest, which does not fit the other categories and

New Photoshop Enhanced Photos

The Arts Committee prepares the photo display panels of photographs taken by citizens and youth. All of the photos received will be matted and displayed for audience participation and voting. Photos taken by students in Lake Travis elementary through high schools will be judged separately from those taken by adults. Portraits and Other Subjects categories are not limited to Lakeway to encourage a sense of pride for both citizens and students in the Greater Lakeway and Lake Travis community.

A committee reviews the photos and selects particularly good examples taken by citizens and youth. Ballots give an opportunity for people to select "Best Picture" in each category and a "Best of Show" photo. One picture from each category will be added to the committee selections. Greater Lakeway Residents Association representatives review the photographs after display to potentially select a photo for the cover of the 2012 Lakeway Residential Directory. The photographer receives recognition in the directory. A Community Story Book with 2010 and past winning photographs is available for viewing.

Submit photos at the Activity Center for the Photo Festival September 1 through October 8, 2010.

Entry form labels for the Photo Festival are available at the Lakeway Activity Center (261-1010).

Saturday, September 18, is the date for a one-day event originating in Chicago, Illinois, and sent via satellite to more than 350 sites continent-wide. The Lakeway Church, located at 2203 Lakeway Blvd., Lakeway, will be a host church for this area.

Everyone is invited to hear renowned author and Bible teacher Beth Moore as she speaks from the Rosemont Theater in Chicago. Tickets for the simulcast event are available from The Lakeway Church for $25 each. Call the church at 261-6331 for more information or visit either the church website, www.lakewaychurch.org, or the website for the event at http://www.lifeway.com/event/194/. Groups are welcome. Tickets can be purchased at the door if space is available.

While this Living Proof live event is focused on women, men are certainly invited. Musician Travis Cottrell will be leading worship with his Praise Team at the event in Chicago and all simulcast attendees will be able to view that part of the session as well. Through the satellite connection, thousands of people in the US and in other countries will be united in one worship service.

The biblically sound teaching of Moore has helped women around the world experience the joy of a relationship with God through learning how to study the Bible for themselves. Moore’s teaching makes the Bible come to life and brings relevant truth to light for today.

Beth Moore has authored many Bible studies and books, many of which are available in a DVD teaching format with coordinating student workbooks. Some of her studies include A Woman’s Heart, Believing God, Beloved Disciple, Living Beyond Yourself, and Breaking Free. The Lakeway Church conducts Beth Moore studies three times a year, beginning in April, September and January. On September 13, they will begin studying HERE and NOW, THERE and THEN, a Lecture Series on Revelation. To register for this study, contact Betsye Witcher Betsye.Witcher@gmail.com or 512-917-2616.

Moore’s books are available at most bookstores or online. She founded Living Proof Ministries in 1994 with the purpose of teaching women how to love and live on God’s Word (according to the LifeWay website.) She can also be seen on TV weekly and heard on the radio. For more information about Beth Moore and to find out her radio and TV schedule, visit her website at www.BethMoore.org.

FRIENDS OF THE PARK PLAN BUSY YEAR

The Lakeway Friends of the Parks will have an exciting and busy year for fall 2010 to spring 2011.　　There are a lot of plans　and projects in the planning stages and others that have been approved.

One project that we volunteers are really excited about is the Overlook Project planned for the Hamilton Greenbelt II.

We have the approval needed to start construction on our first volunteer workday, September 11, 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

We will be excavating the site on that workday, with the October 9, workday doing form placement and pouring concrete.

We will work two days that month, so we can remove the forms and install the railing.　 This second workday will occur a week later.

　We also inspect, maintain, build and clean trails in the Hamilton Greenbelt I and II, the Lakeway City Park, the Canyonlands, and the Smith Greenbelt.　 We weed, plant native plants, care for five gardens and make sure the trees are trimmed to keep the trails in tip top shape, so all the citizens of Lakeway can enjoy walking, jogging and bike riding.　 We have started a wildflower site at the Lakeway City Park that has done remarkably well with an assortment of blooms.

　Because of all this activity, we are in need of more volunteers.　 One way to give back to the community you live in, is to join this organization.　 We have engineers, and　master gardeners　as volunteers and they really show their knowledge by constantly coming up with new projects for all to enjoy.　 They also come in handy if there is a problem with erosion or bridge building.　 We also have a free lunch after each workday. This is a fun group of people and we get to take a great deal of ideas and knowledge back to our own yards.　　

　Go to the City of Lakeway website or　the FOP website　 www.lakewayfop.org　 for information　about the group and joining by down loading a membership form.　 Cost is $15 per family and this is an excellent way for the high school teens to put in their volunteer hours.　 You get a free T-shirt after a day of volunteer work and can purchase more.

Auditions for Funny, You Don’t Look Like a Grandmother, a musical comedy revue about modern grandparents, will be held at the Lakeway Activity Center,Room B, on Thursday, August 19 at 7:00 p.m.; Saturday, August 21, at 10 p.m; and Tuesday, August 24 at 7 p.m., according to director, Barbara Calderaro.

In addition, auditions may be scheduled at additional times by calling Calderaro at 512.261.3671, or emailing her at barbcal@austin.rr.com. Auditions are open to everyone. Please have 16 bars of a song and be prepared to sing either with tracks or a capella. Speaking parts will be read from the script.

The roles include four women ages late forties to early sixties to play grandmothers; one woman age twenties to early thirties to play the daughter. (This part could play an additional role). Also needed are one or two men, age fifties to sixties to play grandfathers. This might also include an additional role, and one man, twenties to thirties to play the son. (Also, additional role). Additional small roles include: salesman, salesgirl, waiter, and narrator.

Funny, You Don’t Look Like A Grandmother, a humorous, heartwarming revue that looks at modern grandparents in a whole new light, is based on Lois Wyse’s bestselling book by the same title. Sheilah Rae teams with Wyse on the book and lyrics, and the music is by Robert Waldman. Together they have crafted a funny and warm homage to granny-hood. Funny, You Don’t Look Like A Grandmother watches grandmothers making the transition from granny glasses and Red Cross Shoes to cute little tennis dresses, skis and a condo in Florida, to say nothing of the world of laptops, cell phones and kick boxing. They work out, and step out in "Grandma’s Gotta Dance" and shop till they drop in "Plastic Grandmas." They long for an "Old Style Grannie" to help with babysitting, and shoot from the hip with "There Oughta be a Law to Outlaw In-laws." Sometimes they sing along with spouses, so Grandpa is included, as well as the expecting children, (the son and daughter). Whether you are a grandparent, a parent or a grandchild, every generation will love this show.

Determined by the quality of the auditions, the director will cast the best choice for each role after everyone has had an opportunity to audition. The cast might be expanded depending on the number of performers available. Or, if necessary, a cast member might be asked to play double roles.

Show dates are Thursday, Friday, Saturday October 28, 29, and 30, 2010.

The TexARTS Portugal river cruise trip was another successful trip with 28 folks coming back in mid August　full of wonderful memories.　 They spent 3 days in Lisbon before traveling North to Porto where they boarded a river boat and cruised the Douro River Valley with a side　trip into Spain.

The commissions from this trip are being donated to TexARTS by Joann Anderson for the visual and performing arts in the Lake Travis area.

The Constitution is the supreme law of the United States. Adopted in 1787, it created three branches: the Legislature, which includes the Senate and the House of Representatives; the Judicial, headed by the Supreme Court; and the Executive, led by the President. It defines the powers of each branch. The Founding Fathers wanted the Constitution to be a national system for self-government that protected rights. It has been amended 27 times.

The first ten amendments are known as The Bill of Rights. They were ratified at once, on December 15, 1791.

This 223 year-old document is the longest-lived written Constitution in world history. In 1955, the Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress to set aside the week of September 17 – 23 annually to celebrate and honor this great document and to pay tribute to the Framers who created it. The following year, Congress designated the week of September 17 – 23 as Constitution Week.

The mayor of Lakeway, Dave DeOme, will issue and sign a Constitution Week Proclamation, to observe the occasion.

The Lohmann’s Ford Chapter National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution asks that you join us and Americans all over the nation in commemoration, reminding us of the freedoms this great document bestows to each and every American.

"To the United States: Where each man is protected by the Constitution regardless of whether he has ever taken the time to read it." Toast by unknown Author
