News About The Club
March Member Spotlight
March Member Spotlight is Jeff Christner! SOUTH AUSTIN ROTARY is all about service, community and family! Meet Jeff Christner: I was born in the panhandle city of Canadian, Texas on Christmas Eve. Grew up in the panhandle near our family ranch. Graduated from U.T. Austin in 1984. Began my banking career in 1987 in Galveston. I have been in my current position with ABC Bank since 2001. I've been married to my wife, Milli for 37 years. We have two daughters, Emily and Chesney. We currently live in central Austin.
 
I am a commercial loan officer at ABC Bank, primarily focusing on residential construction and small business.
Service Above Self in Action!
Members of the Rotary Club of South Austin rolled up their sleeves at the Central Texas Food Bank, working alongside fellow volunteers to make a real difference. Together, we helped process 4,001 pounds of food, providing 3,334 meals for our community. Proud to serve and grateful to be part of the solution. 🥫✨
Shop Rotary Swag. Support Service.

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.
