Time and Ties are Flying!
My big heavy winter coat is looking a bit sad these days. Thank goodness!! But wait...is it possible that we are already at Valentines Day? How did that happen? Just a few days ago I couldn't feel my fingers as I took my life in my hands walking the grocery cart to my truck through the HEB parking lot. This warming trend can only mean one thing and I'm not talking about global warming. No I'm talking about the annual LTEF Gala made possible by Rough Hollow!
March 7th is the big day - 25 days away in case you are counting (which I am). There is no time to waste! The tables are filling and we want you there. Join us for an amazing night of fun, music and most importantly, fundraising. Want the highlights? Lexus of Austin has made the entertaimnet possible....Here you go:
Don't miss it! You don't want to be the person at the office or the gym on Monday who doesn't know what everyone is talking about. That's the worst. No, you want to be the person in the know, who was at the event of the year, who gave generously to our public schools and made a difference in the lives of our children's education. Not the one who didn't. Definitely don't want to be that person.

Resolution Revolution
New LTEF Director Applications Open
You know you are thinking about it. That nagging New Years Resolution. What's it going to be this time...lose weight, clean out the garage so you can actually put the car in it? Stop worrying - we've got you covered. Join the LTEF Board of Directors and impact the lives of 8700 Lake Travis children in 2015.
Ok - so what do you have to do? Fill out the application (the link is on the right or click here) and then join us at the New Director Open House on January 14, 2015 at the Madrone Apartments Clubhouse on 620 S. to meet us in person, ask questions, and see if it's a right fit for you.
Make 2015 one to remember - terms begin June 1 and by this time next year, you may not have lost a pound and that garage may still be a disaster, but you will have impacted thousands of kids in our community. Now THAT's a resolution you can be proud of.

Green Gifts!
You may remember the story of Zach Peckover - LT graduate who has come home and is giving back to the organization which gave him a scholarship years ago. Well he and The Hills Country Club have done amazing things in just a few months! Waiving their initiation fee in exchange for a donation to the Lake Travis Education Foundation, we received an early holiday gift of $11,500! What a way to start off the season. Thank you to all of the members who joined, and of course to The Hills and to Zach - the mastermind behind the program.

Hashtag to Give
Black Friday...lines conquered. Small Business Saturday...boutiques shopped. Sleeping Sunday...still wishing. Cyber Monday...fingers exhausted. All of this was really just a prep class of sorts for the best day of all - #GivingTuesday. A few years ago some pretty forward thinking folks decided that the antidote to the consumerism that has enveloped us for the past 4 days, and will likely be the focus for the next few weeks, is a day to give. Genius I think.
Why give to the Lake Travis Education Foundation? Simple - you live here. Your kids, your neighbors kids, your co-workers kids all go to school here. Regardless of the side of the fence you prefer when it comes to school finance and the Texas State Legislature, the fact is all of our children deserve a great education. All of our teachers need the supplies and programs to keep our children on the cutting edge of education and learning so they are prepared for the new world that waits for them.
How should you give? Any way you want. Buy tickets to our Gala in March, become a Friend of the Foundation and make a monetary gift, purchase a Visual Bliss art book to give this holiday season. No matter how you choose to give, know that your contribution will go directly to the Lake Travis Independent School District to help fund programs and projects that might otherwise never happen.
#GivingTuesday - guaranteed to make your heart smile without fatiguing your feet, making your eyes red or dealing with only three lanes open in a store with 24 registers and lines to the back of the store. Thank you, and happy giving!
