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. 🥫✨

  • Patty – for the work we did at the Central Texas Food Bank earlier this week.  It was enjoyable and of benefit to our community.
  • Amber – for the excellent Pre-PETS training that was this past weekend in Pfluggerville that our President-Elect Linda Boxberger attended.
  • Mickie – for all the help folks have given to the homeless guy who is now in his truck parked in her back yard!
  • Jenny – for the Freeze Shelter that she worked for four days which helped a lot of folks and made her grateful for her warm home.
Peace Quote
If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.   For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet.   We all breathe the same air.  We all cherish our children’s future.   And we are all mortal.
