Austin Newcomers Club March 2013 ANC Publicity Input
Austin Newcomers Club is dedicated to introducing new residents to Austin while extending a hand to make new acquaintances and join fun Interest Groups. This month our luncheon program will feature Brigadier General Charles A. Miller, Jr., the Chief of Staff of the Texas State Guard. He’ll speak to us about our own Texas State Guard, and its mission to serve Texas. General Miller is a native Texan, born in Taylor TX but as the son of an army officer moved around the country to a series of military installations guring his growth years. He is a graduate of Killeen High School, in Killen TX in 1961, the United States Army Armor School, the Military Police and the United States Army Command and General Staff College. He holds a Masters Degree from Southwest Texas State University. As the Chief of Staff, General Miller is the
second in command of the 2,000-plus Texas State Guard, which has Army, Air, Maritime, and Medical components. Its members, all volunteers, owe allegiance exclusively to the Governor of Texas, which is different from the National Guard. Each member is screened prior to entry and generally serves for no pay unless there is a state emergency. Their primary mission is disaster relief, especially in case of hurricane strikes. The monthly luncheon will be held on Wednesday, March 20 at Green Pastures restaurant, located at 811 West Live Oak in Austin. We get together at around 11:00 a.m. for a social hour with lunch at 12:00 noon. The luncheon is $20 per person; reservations are required, and payment must be received by Thursday, March 14. The club website is www.AustinNewcomers. com and the telephone number is 512-363-2566. The QR code to the left takes you directly to the Austin Newcomers website.

Be Smart About Spring Planting IN THE SUMMER, outdoor water use can account for 50 to 80 percent of home water use. Texans must use their precious water resources more efficiently, or we will have longer, more frequent water shortages, especially during droughts and hot Texas summers. Much of the water used outdoors is wasted through inefficient landscape watering practices. By reducing the amount of water we waste, we will save money and protect the quality of life of future Texans. DESIGN A WATER-WISE LANDSCAPE, planting waterefficient, well-adapted, and/or native shrubs and trees. Choose plants that are drought tolerant (or at least have low water requirements) and heat tolerant and can survive the minimum winter temperatures in your local area. Native plants are also most resistant to diseases and pests.

Hunters Chase Gazette - March 2013
Put drought-tolerant groundcover instead of grass in areas that are narrow, small, sloping, odd-shaped, or close to pavement. Limit turf areas to those needed for practical uses. Bermuda, buffalo, and zoysia are drought-tolerant grasses. KEEP MONEY IN YOUR POCKET, using water-efficient landscape practices, such as proper mowing, mulching, and moderate fertilizing. Most water utilities charge higher rates during the summer or increase rates in increments based on use. Please reduce your outdoor water use by determining how much water your landscape needs to stay healthy and don’t use an excess when drought conditions exist. WCID 17 thanks you for your help in preserving Lake Travis. Remember; be mindful to CONSERVE WATER FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.
