2) Our shelves have been installed at City Hall and are stuffed with RWC stuff. Please thank Jasper if you see him. He's still tweaking it a bit with Alison, but we finally have all of our items consolidated in one place.

3) Joy Baldwin has been working on a fresh face for our "road sign" to announce upcoming RWC meetings.  It's in the proofing process right now.  Keep an eye our for it on the corner soon!

4) We've made a new website name for ourselves: www.rollingwoodwc.com. Don't worry- you can still go to wwww.rollingwoodwomensclub.blogspot.com. They are the same site now. We needed to get a shorter web address for our sign :). 

5) Lastly- Life is Good in the Wood 5k 2014 is in full swing!  Save the date for this fun event: Friday April 11th at 6:00pm. Thank you to Catherine Hanrahan and Amy Rung of Wilson and Goldrick Realty for being our Marathon supporters!!!  Woo hoo!  You can join us at our next organizational meeting on Wednesday, March 19th at 7:00pm.

January Meeting at the new Thinkery!

Our next meeting is Tuesday evening, January 28th at the Thinkery.  Thanks to our own RW resident Melissa Morrow, who is on the Thinkery board, we will be given a private tour of the new 40,000 square foot Austin Children's Museum which will be called the Thinkery.  The new facility will provide innovative hands-on experiences for children of all ages with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, art and math.  

The Thinkery is located in the Mueller Neighborhood at 1830 Simond Ave. 78723.  Please meet in the front entrance by 7pm. There is ample parking around the building but carpooling is encouraged.

Hope we will see you there!

Capitol Tour December 11th

A few Rollingwood Women's Club members were fortunate to be able to share a private tour of the Texas State Capitol.

Rod Welsh, the Texas State House Sergeant-at-Arms gave a fascinating 2 1/2 hour tour of the Capitol.

In the Texas House Chamber, Shanthi Jayakumar, Leah Paulo, Magdalena Van Vyck and Gerda Coetzee.

And a view of the Senate Chamber. A great insight into our history.

Happy Holidays!

Merritt and Leah Alberti hosted a fabulous Holiday Party on December 10th.

Friends and neighbors from all over Rollingwood came together for food, wine and great conversation.

Happy faces,

good friends,

And best wishes for a safe and restful holiday season.

November RWC Bookclub

It’s time for our next meeting at 8pm on Monday, November 18^th . Patricia Newton is hosting .

We’ll be discussing The Light Between Oceans, by M.L. Stedman. 

Everyone is welcome. See you there!

November is Pajama Time!

Our November meeting is Tuesday the 26th at the home of Alison Queralt 102 Wallis Dr. 7-9 pm.

We will be wrapping pajamas for several charities again this year, and we'll also be voting on ways to put our fundraising dollars back into the city.  This is always an important meeting so we hope you can make it.

PJ wish-list:
The charities need teenage boys (age 14-18) pajamas—a lot of them.  They have plenty of jammies for young children right now.  Although it may be more fun to buy cute ones for little children, they have a great need for grown-up pajamas.

The requirements are as follows:
Pajama bottoms and white t-shirts.  The sizes are actually Men’s sizes, everything from small to 3xl.  So each gift that we wrap will have a pajama bottom and white t-shirt sized to match.

We also need holiday wrapping paper, scissors and tape.  Please bring what you can.

Thanks - see you there!
