Austin Newcomers Club President’s Letter

July 2025

Welcome to Austin!  We are so glad that you are here and have joined our fun-filled Club!  Even though it’s hot is July in Austin, there are plenty of interesting events to keep you busy and happy.

If you want to be outside soaking up the sunshine, check out the Barton Springs Pool where the water is always cool and refreshing.  Don’t forget your hat and sunscreen and water to stay hydrated!   Look for Sno-cone food trucks around town. There’s nothing like cooling down from the inside out!

Step into the world of wonder at the Zilker Botanical Gardens’ display of the Woodland Faerie Trail until July 12th, cute, creative faerie houses to ooo and ahh over on a nice, shaded path.  If you are looking for something bigger, check out the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center and see the life-size dinosaurs among the Texas native plants through August 17th.

Want to get into the Texas lifestyle? Try  the free beginner 2-step lessons on Tuesday at 7pm at the Sagebrush or the Broken Spoke Honky Tonks.

If you are more of an indoor person, check out our Event Calendar for our fun events that are continuing throughout the summer.  We have Interest Groups such as book clubs, movies, cards and games, all in the comfort of the air conditioning of the volunteer Interest Group Host.  Be sure to sign up on the online Calendar so the Host can plan ahead.

Be cool,

Bev the Prez

(Beverly Tallinger, ANC President 2025-2026)
