This week’s meeting will be with District 5 Council Member Ann Kitchen. Other meetings are set for May 20, with District 8 Council Member Ellen Troxclair, and May 29, with Austin Mayor Steve Adler. The events are free and open to the public, though seating is limited in most cases. Attendees are encouraged to RSVP by calling 877-926-8300. This week’s meeting will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the South Austin Senior Activity Center, 3911 Manchaca Road.
