The Capital Area Boy Scouts are asking citizens of Rollingwood to leave canned goods out for pickup early on Saturday 4/12. This effort is part of the 2008 Keep Texas Fed food drive to stock the Capital Area Food Bank.

Scouts from several area units including Troop 990, Troop 31, and Pack 66 will be patrolling the neighborhood at 9 AM on Saturday to pickup bags of canned food. Please make sure that anything left out is clearly visible from the street.

Before Saturday, you may drop off donations at 4900 Timberline Dr.

Thank you!

The 2008 Rollingwood Women’s Club (RWC) 5K Fun Run was a huge success! After hailstorms Friday morning we had the most beautiful sunny, cool run weather in the afternoon! More than 250 participants came out for this year’s annual 5K fundraiser benefiting the Rollingwood Park and recreation areas.

The RWC greatly appreciates all of our generous sponsors and would like to give special thanks to:

• Franklin Bank

We live in the most wonderful, supportive, friendly community. THANK YOU Rollingwood and Westlake residents! THANK YOU to our terrific local business sponsors! Without all of your support we could never have raised more than $5500 this year towards beautification efforts in our community ! ! ! ! Life is GOOD in the Wood. See y’all next year.
