Census forms are on their way. Census workers will be in our neighborhood soon to take the decennial U. S. census for those who don't return their forms. Here are two documents, courtesy of APD, which lay out the time line and give information on identifying census workers (working out of the Dallas regional office).

Laurel Oaks Neighborhood

The Laurel Oaks neighborhood is located in the northwest quadrant of Austin, Texas, just south of the intersection of U. S. Highway 183 and Spicewood Springs Road.

 

The neighborhood consists of about 2000 homes, and is bounded by Jollyville Road, Oak Knoll Drive, Lost Horizon Drive, Rain Creek Parkway, Fireoak Drive, Texas Plume Road, and Spicewood Springs Road. (Click on the maps tab above.)

Note that LONA covers portions of both Travis and Williamson Counties. Although part of the City of Austin (Travis County), LONA is served by Williamson County schools, namely the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD).

The "Laurel Oaks" name was derived by combining portions of the names of the 2 elementary schools serving our neighborhood, namely Laurel Mountain and North Oaks (as Caraway Elementary was named at the time of LONA's founding).

Association Membership

If you live within (or near) the boundaries of our neighborhood, we are happy to count you as a member of our Neighborhood Association. As an informal association, we have no regulatory authority and collect no dues. We are, of course, subject to civil authorities and to the law of the land; and a $20 annual donation is suggested to support LONA's activities. 

Please address donations and correspondence to LONA, P.O. Box 201454, Austin, Texas 78720-1454.

Please Join Our Yahoo! Group

As noted above, if you live within or near the shaded map, you are within the LONA association boundaries; and if you live in or near our neighborhood, you are automatically a member of the Association.

If you are reading this, you've already found our website; and although there's no substitute for face-to-face communication, you can also connect with your neighbors from the comfort of your home by joining our LONA Yahoo! Group. The Group has a Messages section, through which we exchange emails on topics of interest to the neighborhood, a Calendar upon which we post Association events, and more.

Although the Group's membership is quite active online, only about one-fifth of Association households are currently members of the Group, and we would like to increase participation. So if you're not yet a member, please join by subscribing below, and see what fun you'e been missing!
