If you’re looking for something active and fun to do as a family this weekend it’s not too late to sign up to Run the Ranch on Sunday, March 30^th.

Run the Ranch, hosted by Hill Country Bible Church, is a 5K and Kids Fun Run that takes place at the Towne Square Community Center in Steiner Ranch.

The Kids Fun Run starts at 10am, with the 5K beginning right afterwards.

Amplify Austin: A Festival of Giving

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | March 19, 2014 Leave a Comment

Austin has plenty of great festivals, but there’s one this week that is unique and much different from your typical fest. Amplify Austin is a 24-hour “festival of giving” that encourages locals to give to participating non-profit organizations during a specified 24 hour time period. The “I Live Here, I Give Here” campaign promotes a sense of community pride and philanthropy.

Of course, giving is encouraged year round, but this campaign strives to make a huge impact over a one-day period. It works. Last year, in its debut year, Amplify Austin raised over $2.8 million going to over 320 nonprofits of all sizes. This year, there are nearly 400 nonprofits participating, with a total goal to reach $4 million.

This year’s Amplify Austin runs from 6pm March 20 to 6pm March 21

Lake Travis Community Library: Dramatic Still Life Drawings by Janet Sopp-Sims

Written by Mandy Spivey | March 6, 2014 Leave a Comment

Some artists just have an eye for drawing and illustrating.

To take a mound of colors pencils and turn it into a drawing that appears so lifelike that you might want to take a sip out of the glass is awe inspiring.

Focusing on the drama inherent in everyday life, Lakeway resident and artist Janet Sopp-Sims uses her fine hand skills to recreate the delicate curves and reflections found in our everyday surroundings.

A yellow rose, a tall glass of beer, the shades in the folds of a table cloth from The Hills Country Club — all of these come to life in Sopp-Sims works, which can be found at the Lake Travis Community Library throughout the month of March.
