Greetings, WilCo Seniors!
Summer is the perfect time to try something a little different, and our family and friends recently ventured into Austin for one of the most unique family date nights we’ve had in a while.
We enjoyed dinner at Garrison inside the Fairmont Austin before heading up to the seventh floor for Theatre of Magic. The food was delicious, and the magic show was amazing, personal and unlike anything we had done before. Having everything in one place also made the evening feel easy and convenient.
It is technically outside Williamson County, but when you’re up for a short drive, this is such a fun option for a date night, special occasion or evening with friends and family. The restaurant will even validate your Fairmont parking ticket for free!
Sometimes the best memories come from trying something new, and we hope this week’s newsletter inspires you to discover a few new experiences of your own. Enjoy this week’s edition!

Neighbor Spotlight: Kit Baumann, Senior Living Kit
This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Kit Baumann, founder of Senior Living Kit. Kit helps seniors and their families navigate one of the most personal decisions a family can face: finding the right senior living option with guidance that feels calm, informed, and compassionate.
Her work is built around making the process feel less overwhelming. Whether a family is just starting to explore options or already trying to compare communities, Kit offers personalized support, trusted resources, and a steady hand through each step.
That kind of help can make a real difference, especially when families are trying to make decisions quickly or from a place of stress. Kit’s goal is simple: help families feel more confident, more prepared, and less alone as they figure out what comes next.
If you or someone you love is exploring senior living options, Kit is a good local resource to know.
