Much more to follow-
All:
The LT Cavaliers are going after their 6th state championship Saturday night at 8:00 at Houston NRG stadium.
The Team buses will be leaving the high school at 10:45 Saturday a.m. and proceed south down 620, to the Galleria Parkway, through the Galleria between Dillard’s and City Hall and off on to 71 headed to Houston. Grab the kids or dog and bring your Cavalier flags, signs, banners etc. and help send the team off to state with a giant boost from the community! A little community spirit goes a long way with these boys and our coaches.
Also, spread the word! Let’s pack the Galleria between Dillard’s and City Hall.

Bob’s comment: I sure wish the City of Bee Cave would have been involved in this.
LTYA members,
As many of you know, City of Lakeway voters have the opportunity to vote on Prop 1, which is a $3.7 million tax bond for recreational fields. This is not to be confused with the state Prop 1, dealing with transportation funding, and the City of Lakeway Prop 1 Charter Amendment. The Prop 1 that concerns recreational fields is the very last page of your ballot if you are a Lakeway voter.
We encourage all LTYA members and Lakeway voters to educate themselves on Prop 1, and below are some current facts about LTYA and how the passage of Prop 1 would change LTYA.
FACT: LTYA has an annual registration growth of 6% in its youth sports with only 20 acres of land.
Passage of Prop 1:
FACT: LTYA’s limited field space makes it dependent on LTISD facilities.
FACT: LTYA’s Field of Dreams has archaic lighting, no plumbing and dilapidated and inadequate parking capacity.
Early voting is currently going on from now until Friday October 31st at the Randall’s on 620 in Lakeway. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4th.
Please let us know if you have any questions on Prop 1 and its impact on Lakeway. If you are interested in learning more on helping the campaign for Prop 1, we can forward you to the appropriate contact.
