The name of the organization is the Volente Neighborhood Association ("VNA”). It was founded in 1988.
The Neighborhood represented includes all properties located along FM 2769, Bullick Hollow Road, Lime Creek Road, and properties located along all roadways that originate either directly, or as tributary from these roads.
The purpose of the organization is to implement, promote, or coordinate with other agencies, programs for the protection, safety and enhancement of the Volente community.
Membership in the organization is purely voluntary. It is not a mandatory "homeowners association". VNA does not own property. It is operated as a non-profit, volunteer association like the majority of neighborhood associations in our area and across the country.
Dues for members are only $15 per calendar year. Membership applications are found on most newsletters and at the following URL: http:/www.volente.org/memberfm.html

Some of the recent initiatives of VNA included:

• Better communications through the Volente eNews electronic newsletter. We still produce one or two printed newsletters per year. We mail 600 copies to the Volente community and to other associations and regulatory bodies. This is our single biggest expense.
• General membership meetings. We hold at least one, sometimes more general meetings each year. These meetings are always well attended and the topics and speakers always seem well received by residents.
• Closer ties and support of the Volente Volunteer Fire Department. Updated Fire Department information, such as burn bans or public activities, are published on our web site. VNA helped residents create an Emergency Services District to fund VVFD at an appropriate level.
• Representing the neighborhood better by using designated, standing committees with defined responsibilities. Committee assignments were published in the newsletter and are on the web site.
• Active participation in other associations to leverage our strength. These include: Lake Travis Community Coalition, Austin Neighborhood Council, Protect Lake Travis Association, Highland Lakes Group, Volente VVFD, and 2222 Coalition of Neighborhood Associations.
