April 13, 2026

Sunday morning brought a gentle reminder of spring, with steady rain tapping on rooftops and soaking into our thirsty lawns. If you were up early enough to hear it, you know just how peaceful it was. With a little help from that rain, our neighborhood is about to burst into fresh, green growth 🌱

As the school year winds down and summer begins to peek around the corner, AMNA is excited to try something new! Join us for a free community concert at Harper Park Pavilion on Sunday, May 17, starting at 4 PM. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season with neighbors, music, and a relaxing afternoon outdoors. Mark your calendar now—more details coming in our next newsletter 🎶

AMNA Neighborhood Watch Training

📅May 2, 2026

🕙10:00AM - 2:00 PM

📍Office of Community Liaison, 2410 Grove Blvd, Austin, TX 78741

The Austin Police Department’s Neighborhood Watch program is a community-driven initiative focused on reducing crime, strengthening neighborhood connections, and encouraging neighbors to look out for one another. 

AMNA is currently looking for one or two volunteers to attend this training and help serve as the starting point for a Neighborhood Watch program in Anderson Mill. You do not need to represent the entire neighborhood, just a willingness to learn and share information with others.  

This training provides the foundation needed to launch a Neighborhood Watch in our community. Space is limited, and advance registration is required. If you’re interested in attending on behalf of our community, please let us know as soon as possible so we can coordinate participation.
