News About The Club
January Member Spotlight is Allison Batlin! Meet Allison: Twenty years ago, while seeking funding for a non-profit in the South Pacific, I came and spoke to South Austin Rotary Club. It was a different club then, meeting at Green Pastures, with a 60plus membership. Women were still new to Rotary.

The Rotary Club of South Austin is excited to share a new way to show your Rotary spirit while supporting our service projects — the Club Swag Store and Club Swag Locker.

The Club Swag Store was created by Rotarians to provide fun, affordable Rotary gear through print-on-demand. That means no bulk orders and no extra waste — just the items you want, made when you order. Proceeds from purchases will directly benefit the South Austin Rotary Foundation 501(c)(3), funding both local and global service projects.

For those who want a more customized look, the Club Swag Locker offers high-end products such as polos, performance shirts, and tote bags — all branded with your Club’s official Club Masterbrand logo. The Locker provides members with a polished way to represent Rotary at service projects, community events, or everyday wear.

Both options make it simple to wear your Rotary pride while giving back. Every order helps strengthen the work we do through the South Austin Rotary Foundation.

Visit the Club Swag Store today and explore how you or your club can gear up with Rotary pride while making a lasting impact.
