    Congratulations to everybody elected, and thanks to all the members who participated in the election.

    Thanks to our Nominating Committee: Chair Juliette Kernion, Kate Brien, Helene Maham, Lynda Oakes, Sandy Perkins. They successfully recruited a full slate of candidates, ensuring that every position was filled.

    Thanks to our Election Committee: Chair Randy Alexis, Helene Maham, and Lynda Oakes. They ensured an orderly process. Plus, Election Chair Alexis kept us entertained while votes were counted.

    Many of our senior board members from 2009 were “term limited” out of office this year, which presents a bit of a challenge for this new board. Fortunately, many of them remain actively involved in the association, which we appreciate. But that means individual member involvement is now more important than ever. We’ll begin organizing committees later this month, and I hope you’ll think about participating.

  • Claudell Migl

    Claudell Migl
    Claudell Migl passed away Friday, September 11. A long-time resident of our neighborhood, Claudell and John moved into the (then) brand-new neighborhood in 1971. Their children attended Pillow, Burnet, and Anderson High Schools.

    This was her third year serving as Secretary of North Shoal Creek Neighborhood Association. She worked hard for our association, cleaning up the past-due paperwork and reinstating our status as a non-profit corporation. The Migls were involved in the initial organization effort of the neighborhood association back in 1978, and again in 1998 when it was incorporated.

    The family will receive friends at Cook-Walden funeral home (6100 North Lamar) from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on Monday, September 14, 2009. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 1:00 p.m., Tuesday, September 15, 2009, at St. Louis Catholic Church. Interment will follow at 3:30 p.m. at Assumption Mausoleum. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Hospice Austin’s Christopher House, 4107 Spicewood Springs Rd., Ste. 100, Austin, TX 78759, (512) 342-4700, or http://www.hospiceaustin.org.
