THE ESPLANADE: in 1997 APA applied for a matching grant from the city to beautify the Audubon Place Esplanade. For that purpose we had to come up with a minimum of $3000 raised in our neighborhood. Thanks
to the efforts and the generosity of our members we got it done and in the Summer 1998 issue of Momentum, a magazine published by the Planning and Development Department of the City of Houston, we made
the front page. The Esplanade is maintained under the direction of Tony Herrada, thanks Tony.

RELATED ORGANIZATIONS. The Audubon Place Association actively participates in the programs of a number of related organizations. It
has had several members serve as officers or board members for:
The Neartown Association, a residential organization representing 20 separate civic associations of neighborhoods within the boundaries of
Buffalo Bayou, Brazos, Hwy 59, and Shepherd Drive.
The Houston Homeowners Association with its hundreds of constituent association members throughout the city.
The Greater Houston Preservation Alliance.
Texas Neighborhoods Together (through the Houston Homeowners' Association), a statewide organization which functions as a legislative watchdog for neighborhood issues.
Members also participate in area Community Development Corporations, and the Museum District Business Alliance, an organization fostering businesses within the Neartown boundaries.
As sources of information, these associations are of immense value to our neighborhood, and they also represent a potent lobbying force.
