 North Branch Land Trust members, their guests and staff gathered recently at Appletree Terrace, in Dallas, both to celebrate the holiday season as well as to honor several individuals.
Executive Director, Paul Lumia, bestowed honors and awards to two members of the North Branch Land Trust Board of Directors who resigned as of the end of December: Mary Louise Faber, who served on the Board for three years, and although she was unable to attend, was recognized for her passionate service to the organization; Sarah P. Carr received a lovely bouquet of flowers, many accolades and well wishes, and a sincere thank you for 15 years of service and dedication to the Land Trust, most of which were spent as secretary of the organization. |

 A recently-widowed neighbor of mine called me Saturday night. Seems her shower faucet broke and she needed help. There was no water spraying, so I finished up what I was doing in a couple minutes and stopped over her house to check it out. Seem the handle broke off and the plastic "guts" of the faucet were irretrievably damaged. Since it was after 7:00 PM on a Saturday, I went to one of the national chain home centers to see what I could find. While there were many faucet parts on the massive racks of stuff, the part I needed wasn't there. I pushed the little red "Help" button and within a minute a smiling gentleman in a blue apron approached me and asked what I needed. |

Introducing and Welcome to BackMountain.org |
We're excited to share with you the beginnings of a tremendous resource for those living, visiting or relocating to the Back Mountain. This new site is the Back Mountain community's information hub. The content, whether articles, directory, or event listing is contributed by the community members themselves.
The site is divided into 3 balanced areas of focus - Community, Culture and Commerce. For example, you may want to know where to buy a gift (commerce) to give to the director of a play that you want to find the date and time (culture) that is being put on by a local church (community). Or if you're relocating your business you may want to find out about building permits, as well
