Beyond Bowties: Lake Travis Education Foundation is Bridging the Gap

Written by Cathy Hale | March 26, 2015

You may have seen pictures from the Lake Travis Education Foundation’s Bowties and Butterflies Gala flooding your Facebook page a few weeks ago, but make no mistake, this event reaches far beyond the playfully coined “Mom Prom” moniker. Those smiling faces in the photos are making a big difference in our children’s education.

This year, the Lake Travis Education Foundation gala raised more than $165,000 with the live auction bringing in $90,000, the silent auction bringing in about $43,000 and straight donations that night alone in the amount of $32,000.

So how does this money help? In more ways than you think. “If your child attends an Lake Travis ISD school, they are touched by a gift that was made possible by the gala,” says LTEF Executive Director Suzanne Stone. “The dollars we raise at the event — and all year long — go right back into the schools.”

Written by Mandy Spivey | February 12, 2015

Lagers. London ales. Old ales. Pumpkin pecan seasonals. Peanut butter stouts. Vanilla milk stouts. Farmhouse ales. The options for refreshing craft beer in this town are seemingly endless, as long as you have a free Saturday and an open mind.

One of the reasons you might love living in the Lake Travis area is the proximity to some of your favorite breweries, like Infamous Brewing Company, Oasis Texas Brewing Company, Jester King Brewery, Thirsty Planet Brewing Company and Solid Rock Brewing.

I’ve had the chance to roam far and wide in the pursuit of some of the Hill Country’s best beers, with a lot of learning and tasting along the way. And just like the growing and living organisms that make up our favorite drinks, these breweries take on a life of their own, so it helps to check in from time to time to see what big changes are going on and what you can expect to see in their favorite brews.
