GNW mark your calendars for Tuesday, October 6th for the city's annual Neighbor's Together event! 📣

Neighbors Together is a community outreach initiative intended to bring neighborhoods together, while also fostering a police-community relationship.
Getting to form strong bonds with our fellow neighbors helps ensure our neighborhood is working together as a team. This is one of our many annual events to ensure that bond is not only made, but strengthened. 🚓🏡👮

This community event is hosted by multiple GNW Board Members along with various other GNW community members who register. This event is the perfect opportunity to grow the community, meet, greet, and have a bite to eat! 🏡

Oak wilt is one of the most destructive tree diseases in the United States and is impacting oak trees across Central Texas at epidemic levels. Proper pruning techniques and timing can help prevent the spread of this costly disease. Oak wilt can significantly affect property aesthetics, reduce property values, and be expensive to manage. The good news? Prevention is key.
