Club News
Rotarian Austin Dickson is the executive director of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. He has been with the foundation since 2017, and the assets have steadily grown under his leadership.
 
 
Founded in 1982, this public charitable foundation supports nonprofits and local causes in the region. The Community Foundation grants funds to charities and awards scholarships to students throughout the Hill Country. On average, the Foundation distributes approximately $6 million each year.
 
It is different from private foundations, which usually are funded by an individual person or families. Community Foundations are funded by a collection of gifts and donations from numerous people and organizations in our area and beyond. There are ten counties surrounding Kerrville that are served by these gifts.
 
A few examples of the approximately 175 grantees in 2023 are:
 
Dietert Senior Center
Families in Litercy
Freeman Fritz Animal Shelter
Hill Country Rehabilitation House
Hill Country Youth Ranch
Hill Country Crisis Council
Mercy Gate Ministries
Rafael Free Community Clinic
 
Over 80% of the gifts to the foundation are in cash, but 80% of the wealth in America is in assets. So, if you are interested in helping your local community, consider donations to the Community Foundation in real estate, IRAs, stocks and bonds, mineral interests and physical assets. Gifts can be unrestricted, where the funds go to the greatest community need, or designated, where the funds go to a specified charity or organization.

The Veterans Breakfast was a big success, so a big thanks goes to all who organized and attended this event.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We need volunteers for Ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army, which is an annual fund raiser our club helps out with. The bell ringing is at Gibson's, and starts the Saturday after Thanksgiving and runs through the holiday season. Go to our website to sign up.
 
The Rotary Main Event fund raiser will be February 3, and will be a Hill Country Chic theme. 
 
The Christmas party is December 13 at the Dietert Center. Look for the email from our club for information to RSVP. The Unknowns will playing live music, with a great dinner and fellowship.
 
The Blue Santa event is December 9, which provides food and gifts for local families in need.
