Youth Advisory Group
Monday, April 27, 2026, Youth Advisory Committee Meeting
The City of Lago Vista is proud to recognize the generosity and community spirit of our Youth Advisory Committee.
At the Monday, April 27, 2026, Youth Advisory Committee Meeting, members of the Youth Advisory Group presented Keep Lago Vista Beautiful (KLVB) with a donation of $950. These funds were raised through their efforts and will directly support local beautification projects throughout our community.
This contribution reflects the dedication of our youth to making a positive impact and investing in the future of Lago Vista. Their commitment to service and community pride is truly commendable.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the Youth Advisory Group for their hard work and to KLVB for their continued efforts in enhancing the beauty of our city.

Repurpose Plastic into Art – Join Our Earth Day Initiative!
In celebration of Earth Day 2026, Anodamine is inviting the Lago Vista community to take
part in a unique sustainability project. Local businesses are encouraged to collect plastic
bottle caps and lids starting Earth Day 2026 through February 2027.
At the end of the collection period, the materials will be transformed into a beautiful
public art installation by Anodamine's very own, Megan Hicks & Team Warehouse.
The panel(s) are to be placed in a Lago Vista park with the help of our partner,
KLVB—turning everyday waste into a lasting symbol of community collaboration and
environmental stewardship.
Participating businesses will be recognized with a commemorative plaque displayed
alongside the artwork, highlighting each organization and the total amount of plastic
diverted from waste.
Join us in making a difference—one cap at a time.
Together, we can create something meaningful for our environment and our community.
To get your business involved contact KLVB at klvbcontact@gmail.com
Contact me should you have any questions about collections or suggestions to help us have an
AMAZING Earth Day celebration in 2027! Email to request a lid collection pickup.

What is Pointillism Art?
We intend to do just that with repurposed plastic round bottle caps and lids.
These are found everywhere! The lid to your chemical products, prescription
bottles, a favorite beverage or coffee canister? It seems that lids are often the small
part of the water bottles and sodas that we find while cleaning up parks and
streets.
By collecting these little dots of plastic until February 2027, we will have time to
create a large mural to present back to the community by next Earth Day.
Please assist by providing a location for your business to collect these
internally. If you would like to help spread the message in the community
further, feel free to display the provided flyer for patrons and customers to
view and contribute as well!
Notes of Importance:

Are you tired of deer munching on your newly planted garden? Whether it's delicate shoots or fresh growth, these unwelcome visitors can wreak havoc on your carefully tended plants. But fear not, there's a simple and effective solution: homemade deer repellent.
We recommend spraying the following homemade deer repellent for at least 3 weeks on newly planted items every three days. If it rains or if you water, you must spray again. Also, in the spring, spray new growth to keep deer from eating the delicate new growth.
The Recipe for Homemade Liquid Fence:
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- Garlic cloves
- Water (1 gallon)
- Dish soap
Instructions:
- Crack the eggs and add them to a blender.
- Peel and add several cloves of garlic to the blender.
- Blend the mixture until smooth.
- Transfer the mixture to a bucket.
- Pour in one gallon of water.
- Add a small amount of dish soap to the mixture.
- Allow the mixture to sit in the sun for 24-48 hours.
Application:
- Once the mixture is ready, pour it into a pump sprayer.
- Spray the solution onto your plants, focusing on newly planted ones or areas with fresh growth.
- Repeat the spraying process every three days, especially after rainfall.
- In the spring, make sure to target new growth to deter young deer from developing a taste for your plants.
Why It Works:
The pungent odor of garlic and eggs combined with the soapy water creates a repellent scent that deer find unappealing. While harmless to plants and humans, it effectively deters deer from grazing on your garden.
Additional Tips:
- Store the leftover mixture in a sealed container away from direct sunlight.
- Be cautious when handling the mixture, as it can be quite smelly.
- Consider applying the repellent early in the morning or late in the evening when deer are most active.
By following these simple steps, you can protect your garden from deer damage and enjoy a flourishing landscape all season long. Say goodbye to unwanted nibbling and hello to a thriving garden!
