Hi Neighbors,
We've had some questions about getting onto the neighborhood listserve. It is a two-step process.
1. You must become a member of the association and pay your $10 dues. You can do this in two ways.
- a. Join online at http://bhna.net/membership.html You can use the paypal link on the right-hand side. If you don't have a paypal account, it's pretty easy to set one up.
- b. Join by mail at http://bhna.net/form.html Print out the form and send it to the address on the form. There is a place to check whether or not you want to join the listserve on this form. If you check the box, you will be added automatically.
2. Once you are a member (remember this listserve is a privilege of membership.) Visit
http://bhna.net/listserver.html and click on the link that says
barton_hills-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to send a message to our membership coordinator/Vice President Penley McQueen. He will approve listserve ownership after verifying that you are a member.
You can also renew at the next neighborhood meeting, which is on January 26th at 7 p.m. or by cutting out the form that is in every newsletter and distributed to 1200 households in our neighborhood every quarter and mailing it to the address on the form.
If you have applied and would like to join but still haven't heard anything, you can let Penley McQueen
penley_mcqueen@yahoo.com know. But please be patient. We are a completely volunteer-run organization.
Speaking of which, MEMBERSHIPS ARE DUE. They renew annually in January. Although the crime is terrible, it is nice to see a little uptick in membership because of it. One of the association's big goals this year is to increase membership in the association and the number of people on the listserve.
Warmly,
Wendy Papasan
President, Barton Hills Neighborhood Assn.

Hi everyone,
Concerned about the uptick in crime in our neighborhood? Wondering how you can make your home and community a little safer? Then please join us for a neighborhood watch/crime fighting meeting on Tuesday, January 5th at 7 pm at St. Mark's Church (corner of Barton Hills Drive and Barton Skyway).
This meeting will be packed with excellent information about
Neighborhood Watch and how you can help reduce criminal activity in our neighborhood. Learn about:
- volunteer neighborhood patrols
- tips on making your home more secure for under $5
- having an Austin Police officer evaluate your home for increased protection
Austin Police Officers and neighborhood watch volunteers will be there to respond to specific concerns.
Please come and DO invite a neighbor who isn't on this list. See you then! The meeting will only take about an hour.
For more information on the Neighborhood Watch Program or to become a volunteer contact the amazing
John Luther (he's like our own neighborhood superhero) at
jluther@austin.rr.com.
Warmly,
Wendy Papasan
President, Barton Hills Neighborhood Assn.
