Events

For the past eight years, the Rotary Club of Kerrville has been providing free breakfast for Hill Country Veterans. This event is held in both the fall and the spring, recognizing Veterans for their service. A free breakfast and time to talk with other Vets and Rotarians is a small, but meaningful, way to honor their gift to our country.

The fall event, will be held on Friday, November 7th at the Hill Country Veterans Center, 411 Meadow View Lane from 8am – 9:30am. There will be plenty of food, beverages and opportunities to gather and share.
