for their Spring show that will cover 5 Rodgers & Hammerstein
shows. The King and I, Carousel, South Pacific, Oklahoma, and the

Pictured is their first gathering in the Activity Center with Ernie
Clay, their director explaining the show.
The
show is scheduled for April 19, 20, & 21st at the Activity Center

area that have been entertaining the community for over 10 years and
their shows are always a sell out.

Lakeway Expands Stars for the Troops Program
Earlier this year, the City of Lakeway joined up with a national program called Stars for the Troops, with the intent to pay tribute to our deployed troops by providing them embroidered Stars that had been carefully removed from worn, faded, tattered, and torn American flags before the flags are formally retired. The Stars are then placed in a wallet-sized plastic packet with a card that says, “I am part of an American flag that proudly flew over a home in Lakeway, Texas, U.S.A. I can no longer fly. In the sun and the wind, I have become tattered and torn, but not forgotten. Please look at me as a reminder that you are not forgotten”. The packets are then delivered to our troops, who can carry them in a wallet, purse, or shirt pocket. The program will now be extended to Lakeway veterans whose names have been engraved on the city’s Spirit of Freedom Monument located at Heritage Park.
In October, Lakeway city staff prepared special personal 8.5 x 11 certificates with Stars attached that were presented to more than a dozen Medal of Honor recipients at an event held in their honor in Ft.Worth, Texas. Staff also prepared similar certificates for veterans whose names were added to the Spirit of Freedom Monument for Veterans Day this year. The response was so overwhelming that nearly two-dozen people signed up for special certificates to be prepared for friends and family members who are now serving or are veterans.
Lakeway veterans whose names are engraved on the Spirit of Freedom monument are invited to apply for these special certificates with embroidered Stars attached by contacting Rachel Wallace at Lakeway City Hall either by email rachelwallace@lakeway-tx.gov or telephone 512-314-7516. The names will then be verified through Heritage Center records and a certificate will be prepared and mailed accordingly.
If the veteran whose name is engraved upon the monument has passed away, a certificate will be prepared in memory with the date of passing illustrated on the certificate. Please allow at least thirty (30) days for processing the request.

Yoav Di-Capua “Whither the Arab Spring”
Yoav Di-Capua’s specialty at the University of Texas at Austin is Arab intellectual history. The spring of 2011 will be forever known as the “Arab Spring” – that mysterious and inspirational outcry from Arabs for freedom. Beginning in Egypt and spreading throughout the Arab world, this surprising surge from the Arab people has toppled and shaken governments. Professor Di-Capua speaks to the future of these fragile steps toward freedom – and perhaps an “Arab Autumn”?

Lake Travis Community Library Launches Commemorative Brick Drive
The Lake Travis Community Library has announced a new fundraising effort in which commemorative bricks can be purchased by residents and businesses to honor whoever they like to help fund a new library building.
"The new facility will have two pathways in which bricks purchased by donors will be placed," said Ginger Gober, fundraising co-chair. "The Library Pathway will consist of bricks honoring individuals, organizations or businesses, while the Veterans Pathway will honor those who served in the military. Five percent of the Veterans brick donations will also be donated to the nonprofit organization Luke’s Wings."
The Pathway of Friends engraved bricks come in three sizes and each brick will be engraved with two to four lines commemorating whatever the donor chooses. Donations will be based on the size of the brick and are priced at $125, $250 and $500 each.
"This is a unique opportunity for anyone and everyone to have their name, or that of someone they know and love, forever immortalized in the Lake Travis Community Library," said Library Director Morgan McMillian. "The Pathway of Friends is a fundraising initiative to sell specially engraved paving bricks which will adorn the walkways of the new library."
Whether you choose to honor the person who first introduced you to the joys of reading, promote your business, or show your patriotism, a brick donation will impact the Invest in Lifelong Learning Capital Campaign and become a permanent part of the Lake Travis Community Library.
"This is a wonderful opportunity to permanently recognize someone important to you and help contribute to our new library building," said Gober.
For more information on the brick program, please contact the library or Ginger Gober at (512) 266-9567 and ginger@alangober.com.
