Canyon Creek is more than a prestigious master planned community in NW Austin. Its a neighborhood of caring residents who make a difference especially while taking seriously today’s Shelter in Place ordinance. I’ve been reaching out to residents and am amazed with ideas many have come up with and implemented to make residents smile!
Kudos to Anu Nistala a community resident of Canyon Creek for taking time to create a community-wide music video! What a great way to spread some positivity during the COVID -19 pandemic. Anu was able to bring her friends and neighbors a tad closer with a quick YouTube video.
Don’t you love the messages on signs, garages and houses? All to help keep the spirits up as we all Shelter in Place and look forward to re-opening our economy soon. Even our local KXAN TV channel picked up this story and ran with it!
Two families in Canyon Creek made the Austin 360 section of the Austin American Statesman with their fun and good deeds! Lori and Kevin Thompson and their family and John and Heather Forshay and their family had fun cheering up their neighbors on April Fool’s day and over Easter week-end.
It takes a village and Canyon Creek is a remarkable community that enjoys going the extra mile to help make a brighter day for their neighbors. They also respond quickly when a need arises.
Unfortunately Justin Putman 31, a police officer was shot and killed in responding to a domestic disturbance call over the week-end in San Marcos, TX. Two fellow officers were also wounded. Justin was ambushed by a shooter who than shot himself. He was a graduate in the class of 2007 at Westwood High School and his death hit home to many in the community. It’s heart warming to see how quickly the community mobilized and presto our trees on our main boulevard were covered with blue bows to honor this young man that many knew. He will be greatly missed. Thank you Trish Baizer who cut strips of blue ribbons and left in a box to retrieve on her doorstep and hang on a tree at your house or somewhere in the neighborhood. Looking at all of the bows driving into the community is a sight to behold. It’s important to let the family know how much the community cares and pay tribute to this fallen hero.
I love living, working, contributing and being a part of our community.
