FRIENDS OF THE PARK PLAN
BUSY YEAR
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. Submitted by Sue Wright

The Constitution of the United States "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." 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."

Lake Travis Community Library Bestselling Author Susan Wittig Albert to Visit Lake Travis Community Library hosts three special events for adults in the month of September. For one of their biggest events yet, bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert will speak at TexARTS on Saturday, September 25 at 10:30 a.m. "Susan Wittig Albert is a popular guest speaker at libraries and clubs around the country," said Lake Travis Community Library Director Morgan McMillian. "We have many patrons who love her cozy mysteries and I hope we have a large audience for this event."
"For lovers of mysteries, Susan Wittig Albert’s China Bayles series is pure entertainment," said Helen Kott. "Set in the Texas Hill Country, it has plenty of local interest. Fun!" Albert’s latest project is a series of historical mysteries, The Darling Dahlias, set in the 1930s in Alabama. The first title in the series, The Darling Dahlias and the Cucumber Tree, received a starred review in Library Journal. "It’s fascinating to hear how Albert’s writing career has evolved, beginning as one of the Carolyn Keene’s who penned the Nancy Drew series," said Diane Taylor. Albert has also written nonfiction. Earlier work includes Work of Her Own, a study of women who left their careers, and Writing From Life: Telling Your Soul’s Story, a guidebook for women memoirists. That book led to the founding of the Story Circle Network, which is dedicated to helping women share the stories of their lives and to raising public awareness of the importance of women's personal histories. Albert currently serves as an editor of Story Circle Book Reviews and helps to coordinate SCN’s online class program. She and Bill live in the Texas Hill Country, where she writes, gardens, and raises a varied assortment of barnyard creatures. On Friday, September 10 at 10 a.m., LTCL will host Diana Houston from the Texas State Library to present Introduction to Genealogy Resources at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. This brief overview of the basics will help new genealogists start research. Houston is currently the Assistant Director, Information Services at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission managing reference services in three major public services collections - the Texas State Archives, the Genealogy Collection and the Reference/Documents Collection. "We will discuss the services and basic resources available in the public service areas of our division, the Archives and Information Services Division," said Houston. "The emphasis, of course, will be those resources of particular interest to genealogists - some obvious, some not so obvious." The third special event at the library takes place on Tuesday, September 14 at 3:30 p.m. The library will host Workforce Solutions as they present Job Search Basics. Gary Head will lead the talk for Workforce Solutions where he currently serves as a Work Readiness Instructor. Head holds both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in English and has been an educator for over twenty years teaching in both the public school system and corporate America. Prior to his experience in workforce development, he developed and authored an investment advisor preparation curriculum for aspiring stock brokers. Workforce Solutions – Capital Area connects job seekers and employers with three Austin-area Career Centers. They provide services that equip workers with the skills required by local industry. Workforce Solutions foster economic growth by working with businesses and job seekers to find solutions to the Capital Area’s workforce challenges. As always, please contact the library for more information about any of these events at (512) 263-2885 or www.laketravislibrary.org. We look forward to seeing you at the library!
