Hungry? Ready for a picnic? Having company for Mother's Day? Treat yourself! Saturday, May 6, at St. Mark's Episcopal Church is the 46th annual Chicken and Brisket BBQ.
This year delicious smoked brisket will be available to purchase in addition to the chickens and sausage, (all lovingly smoked on the St. Mark's BBQ pits), as well as all the trimmings (coleslaw, beans & cobbler).
Plan ahead and order early (especially the brisket--it goes fast) or just come by on Saturday the 6th and satisfy your hunger. A downloadable order form is
available (or you can pick up an order form at the church).
Drop your completed order form and payment at the church office and we'll have your order ready to pick up between 10:30 and 2:00 Saturday the 6th.
Prices are: Half chicken @ $3.75 each, Sausage @ $1.00 per 1/4 lb. link, Brisket $8.00 per lb. (in 1/4 lb. increments) The BBQ coincides with the St. Mark's Day School carnival, so it will be a busy and fun-filled day!

Hello Greenbelt Fans,
The wheel of the year has turned to spring, and we are just weeks away from our most ambitious work day of the year, when we will work at both of our adopted trails for the
It's My Park Day! event sponsored by the
Austin Parks Foundation. This is our third year to participate in this program, when citizens all over the city tend to their parks and greenbelts. The Austin Parks Foundation helps recruit volunteers, and provides supplies and snacks and free t-shirts to all participating volunteers.
Your job as a Greenbelt Guardian volunteer is to:
1)
Register for this work day on the Austin Parks Foundation website at
www.austinparks.org. Scroll through the listed park sites to Barton Creek Greenbelt and select either Gus Fruh Trail or Homedale Trail. The listed Host is the
Greenbelt Guardians: Barton Hills Neighborhood Association.
2) Show up at the appropriate trail on Saturday, April 22 and sign in at the host table at the trail entry. Then set to work on one of the available tasks, alongside a diverse, interesting, and genial group of companion volunteers. It?s a great way to celebrate spring!
We are hoping for a healthy turn out to accomplish some much needed tasks at both of our trails. We've got a diversity of tasks to suit many skill levels, from clean-up to removal of invasive vegetation to rock wall construction and trail drainage repair. We will have leaders at each site to help orient volunteers to the different tasks.
Stan Ostrum of
BHNA will lead the work at the Gus Fruh trail site, and
Jon Beall of the
Save Barton Springs Association will lead the work at the Homedale Trail. I will be shuttling between the two sites.
If you have any questions about this work day, or how to sign up, please contact me. I'd love to hear from you directly in addition to you signing up with the Austin Parks Foundation. Signing up with them will assure that we have plenty of t-shirts and snacks and supplies on hand. Thank you.
