Sorry for the delayed update! We’ve got quite a bit to recap and more exciting things coming up!
On November 17th, we held our first social of the year at the Waller Creek Conservancy Creek Show Artist Talk. It was an entertaining and engaging night of art and design! All five design teams were on hand to discuss their installations in detail. The Contemporary Austin’s Andrea Mellard facilitated the discussion. Club members and friends had a chance to explore Waller Creek, experience the sights and sounds of the installed pieces, and envision a new future for Waller Creek. Check out the Facebook Photo Album.
Our guest speaker for the November 19 meeting was Tracey Edgar from Landscape Structures. Landscape Structures is a proud Vision Partner of Kiwanis International; meaning we work together to bring play and playgrounds to communities across the globe. They provide high-quality commercial playground equipment and services that reflect the high degree of integrity that Kiwanis demands. Tracey got us excited about the prospect of building a playground in the area soon!
Our guest speaker for the December 3 meeting was James Brown, Director of Worship and the Arts at First Presbyterian Church of Austin. In keeping with the theme of the holiday season, James shared his reflections and some historical information on the origins and traditions of Advent in the Christian faiths.
