Your annual voluntary membership fee supports our mission of advocacy for our neighborhood and our sense of neighborhood community. COVNA officers stay involved in Austin neighborhood organizations such as Austin Neighborhood Council (ANC), South Austin Neighborhood Alliance (SANA), Kitchen Cabinet meetings (Ann Kitchens, Place5 city council member advisory group), and receive notices from the City of Austin that could affect Castlewood-Oak Valley residents. COVNA holds formal meetings as needed to help solve problems. Fortunately, in recent years, issues have been minor and we have been able to spend most of our resources on building neighborhood relationships with our parties and celebrations.
