The Hunt School Fall Carnival is the major fundraiser for the school & district.  The Rotary Club of Kerrville will staff a booth with two shifts, from 5-7pm and 7-9pm.  Of course volunteers can work both shifts.

Club will be bringing over 2 Cornhole Toss Games.  This will allow 4 children to play and get the bag in the hole.  If it doesn't work the first time, move them up until it does!!!  They will be playing for Teddy Bears donated by the Fairlawn Rotary Club in New Jersey!  The goal is that every student & child gets a bear.

Rotarians are asked to wear their Rotary Shirts and Caps for identification.  We will set up around 3pm.  

What a great way to reward the children in this community who were hit so hard by the flooding!  Please register and state the shift you would like to work!!

For the past eight years, the Rotary Club of Kerrville has been providing free breakfast for Hill Country Veterans.

Hello Everyone,

The City of Kerrville and UGRA are excited to announce the River Trail Cleanup 2! The River Trail Cleanup in November was such a huge success that we're doing it again! This event will have a slightly different format and some new locations as well. Overall, the goal is still the same - Make our recently reopened River Trail system a beautiful, trash-free space to enjoy! We are looking for a group of about 150 volunteers who are willing to take on the task of cleaning up the trail and river system from the Dietert Center through Louise Hays Park. Volunteers will be split into groups that will cover sections along the trail as well as parks, publicly accessible areas along the river adjacent to the trail, and in the river itself.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The United Cajun Navy (UCN) may be working in the area for flood debris extraction that day. They plan to have divers in the water and heavy equipment on the banks. We will not have a kayak element to this cleanup to ensure the safety of our volunteers and to not hinder the efforts of UCN. If you see heavy equipment in an area extracting debris, please use caution and steer clear of the machinery.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2026 and will begin at 8:00 AM and run until about 12:00 PM. There are limited slots available and it is RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER, so register today!

UGRA will provide cleanup supplies, and the City of Kerrville will arrange for trash removal from the trail. In the registration form, you will be able to decide where you would like to report that morning. Depending on what group you're in, there could be limited parking, so we recommend carpooling if possible.

After you register, keep an eye out for additional information about the event.
