In earlier emails I mentioned the Habitat Challenge that Austin
neighborhoods are being encouraged to participate in. To count your
yard in the Allandale total, the application *must* be submitted by
October 31st-----Yes! in just a few days!!

You may certify online or print out the form and mail it in but it must
be postmarked by October 31.

Go to the link below to do it.

Please feel free to give me a call if you have questions. My number is
454-7219 .

If you don't have a printer and don't want to do this online,
give me a call (454-7219) and leave your address on the callnotes if I
am not here and I will bring you a nice application form.

There is a charge of $15 to certify your yard--you can pay this fee
online, also.. There is an additional fee of $25 to get the cool sign
you can display in your yard but this
is *optional*.. I *just* submitted my application on line and I opted
to get the yard sign so, with the tax, the total was $41.56. The whole
process took under 2 minutes.

I would love it if you would drop me a note to let me know you sent your
info in.

Let's do it! cheryl silver on vine whose yard looks like a yard in
transition but it qualifies!
