Recycling Education
Jul. 07, 2022 12:00 p.m.
I am a City of Austin Recycling Block Leader for my neighborhood. This is a volunteer position that I have held for 28 years. I work closely with the City and various recycling organizations to stay informed on the latest recycling information. I write a recycling column called “Lettuce Recycle”. It appears monthly in various neighborhood newsletters and magazines around Austin. I have written this column for over six years. Before curbside recycling was available in Austin, I organized a neighborhood project to collect recyclable paper. Several of us saved our paper to take to a private recycling company. We called our project “Lettuce Recycle”. I was the first to take a load to the recycling center. We filled up my huge Toyota van and off I went to collect our wealth and save the planet. We were going to take all the money we earned and throw a neighborhood party. After weighing and unloading the van, I was handed $1.30. Well, at least we did our best to save the planet. Recycling education is my goal because recycling can be very confusing. It is through my articles that I hope to take some of the confusion out of recycling and help Austin reach its Zero Waste goal by 2040. |

Affordable Housing: Where Real Estate Development and Personal Development Connect
Sep. 15, 2022
Russ Michaels is the Executive Director of Texas Inter-Faith Housing Corporation, a 501(c)3 non-profit development company based in Texas. He is also a real estate attorney and consultant for both for-profit and non-profit companies that build, develop, operate, and manage affordable housing communities for seniors, veterans, families, artists, and children. Russ was born and raised in the rural Midwest, growing up in Hays, Kansas. His parents did not have a lot of money to support all five children, and they divorced before he was a teenager. Russ has been employed non-stop since he was nine years old, having started with a paper-route to help offset costs. Ultimately, his family would have qualified for affordable housing had the communities and choices been more readily available. Condensing a very long and roundabout story down to a short story, Russ eventually went to law school in Houston and began a career in affordable housing, specializing in the low income housing tax credit market. He is extremely passionate about providing seniors, veterans, artists, families and children with not just a new apartment to call home, but also providing them with social services that level-up their lives. He currently is a board member for Texas Inter-Faith Management Corporation and a board member for one of the largest resident services providers in the country, Portfolio Resident Services. This presentation is about the impact he has witnessed in affordable housing, both in the corporate level and in the development of the apartment communities and people. |

How To Protect Your Investments in Hazardous Times and Markets
Oct. 20, 2022
Scott Burns is the creator of Couch Potato investing and a personal finance columnist with decades of experience. As a syndicated newspaper columnist and author he has covered personal finance, investments and economics for over 40 years. He is best known for creating the “Couch Potato Portfolio” investment strategy, which advocates the use of index funds over managed funds or stock picking.[1] In 2006, he retired from the Dallas Morning News to co-found the Web startup AssetBuilder. The registered investment advisor firm now has over 1,200 clients in 43 states and manages $800 million in assets. He retired from the firm and syndication in early 2017. After a year of retirement, he created this website, his latest effort to bring financial confidence and success to as many people as possible.If you can fog a mirror and divide by the number “2” —or make a margarita—he’ll show you how to get better investment results— and a better retirement— with very little effort. Scott and his wife Carolyn have lived in Texas Hill Country since 2009, first in Dripping Springs and, now, Johnson City. Their actual location is closer to Pedernales Falls Stage Park than anything as urban as Johnson City… They are delighted to have a son and daughter living within 1000 feet on wildlife preserve land. Another son and daughter-in-law, with three more grandchildren, live in Dallas. In addition to sailing and almost anything to do with salt water, Scott is a member of the Philosophical Society of Texas. He is also a board member of Homeward Bound, Inc., the largest provider of detox and recovery services for the indigent in north Texas. |
