Dear Rosedale Neighbors,

The ANNUAL BACK-TO-SCHOOL END-OF-SUMMER POOL PARTY at Ramsey Pool is a so on for this Saturday evening, August 18, from 6 to 8 pm. Come enjoy the pool, where the aerator has kept the water so refreshing this summer!

Enjoy pot-luck music, drinks, and snacks and friendly conversations for a couple hours while the sun sets languidly over the tennis courts. Bring a box or bag or pan of your favorite picnic-table goodies to share. We will provide paper cups and napkins and plates and drinks.

The pool closes for the season at the end of the party, so this is your last chance this summer to skip your Saturday night bath!

Come one, come all to the annual Rosedale 4th of July event on Wednesday, July 4th. The parade begins at 10am at the amphitheater at Ramsey Park with a promenade around the park. Bring your competitive energy to the water balloon toss and win a family pack of gift certificates to Amy’s Ice Cream. Plenty of carnival games for young children, as well as baked goods, cold drinks and of course watermelon. Don’t forget your swimsuits for a dip in Ramsey Pool after the celebration.

Dear Rosedale,

With the Yarborough Library is undergoing renovations, the Rosedale Neighborhood Association will meet at alternate locations and times this year.

RNA meets this Wednesday, April 4, in a private dining room at La Mancha restaurant at 2203 Hancock Dr, 78756. The meeting will start at 7:00 pm, and light snacks like nachos and guacamole will be provided. If you’d like food or drinks for the meeting, we recommend arriving a few minutes early to order.

The main item on the agenda is an in-depth presentation headed by Chris and Gina Allen on the new Draft 3.0 of CodeNEXT and how it would affect Rosedale.

We will also hear a brief presentation from state officials regarding state construction in the 51st St/Lamar area that is scheduled to start around May 1.

Other matters for discussion include an update on Grove developments and a report on our discussions with Rudy’s BBQ regarding smoke from the new Lamar location.

Mark your calendar and let me (president@rosedaleaustin.org) know if you have any questions. A big thanks to La Mancha for letting us use the room and making RNA feel welcome!

Jeff Archer
RNA President

The Rosedale Neighborhood Association will hold its regular monthly meeting on Monday evening, January 22, 2018, at 7 pm. The Yarborough Library is not available for meetings this year as it undergoes renovations. This Monday’s meeting will convene at Café Express on Lamar/Medical Parkway. (We are in the process of considering other suitable locations for the next year).

This month’s agenda will include:

1. A presentation on behalf of the owners of the property containing the house at 3904 Medical Parkway regarding the redevelopment of the site, currently zoned residential. The developer wants the RNA to consider other uses of the property that would require a zoning change.
2. A discussion of the potential effects on air quality presented by the planned Rudy’s BBQ restaurant at the old 2J’s/EZ’s site on Lamar.
3. Discussion of possible changes to RNA’s bylaws and meeting schedule, including frequency and location of meetings.
4. Any available updates regarding CodeNext, the Grove, and the city’s development of a bond package that could affect parks and pools.

We welcome discussion of anything else you are interested in bringing up… surprise us!

Hope to see you there!

Jeff Archer
RNA President for 2018
