Alan is businessman here in Austin since moving here twenty-four years ago from Boulder, Colorado where he owned an art gallery for twelve years. He currently runs a retail store on South Congress and a small metal fabrication shop up in Jollyville. He’s also worked as a professional musician for the last forty years and originally moved to Austin to work together with a group of musicians with whom he still performs.
Alan was raised to believe that it is one’s duty to help those unable to help themselves. He’s volunteered for a variety of benevolence organizations for the last thirty years, including the Big Brothers Big Sisters and Boulder County AIDS Project in Colorado; and AIDS Services of Austin, Project Transitions, and the Octopus Club here in Austin. Through his membership in University Baptist Church, he’s helped feed and shelter the homeless youth that live on the streets around the university.
We love Alan’s diverse background of service and volunteerism, and we’re looking forward to the great things he’ll contribute to our community as a Kiwanian!
We’re an organization of volunteers serving the community and children of greater Austin, Texas.
🌳 Service in action at Rosewood Park with the Austin Parks Foundation!
Three members of the Kiwanis Club of Silicon Hills; plus one little helper joined forces with the Austin Parks Foundation and fellow volunteers to give the trees at Rosewood Park some much-needed TLC.
In just two hours, we helped mulch around 25 trees! 🌳💪
A little teamwork, a lot of mulch, and one morning well spent caring for a park our Austin community can enjoy this summer!
We love opportunities to roll up our sleeves, serve together, and make a difference right here in our community. 💙
Join us at our next event Sept 19th where we will be organizing school supplies for drop off to a school in need! Link in the bio!
We have an exciting lineup of service projects, community partnerships, and fellowship opportunities coming up!
From supporting local nonprofits through service, to our monthly meetings at Galaxy Cafe, there’s a place for everyone to get involved and make an impact.
💙 Upcoming Highlights: 🌟 June 9 – @cc4corg Speaker & Service Project 🌳 June 20 – Park Revitalization Morning with @austinparksfdn 🏳️🌈 June 27 – Pease Park Pride Picnic Setup with @peasepark 🎨 July 19 – @austincreativereuse Volunteer Day 🎉 Sept. 27 – End of Year Celebration 🚗 Oct. 25 – VW Harvest Festival with @vw_harvest

Plus, also join us for our monthly Kiwanis meetings at Galaxy Cafe throughout the summer and fall on the second Tuesday of the month at 7 pm!
Today we gathered for our annual Kiwanis luncheon to celebrate a year of service, leadership, and impact. 💙💛
During the meeting, we reflected on our accomplishments, shared updates on our service projects, elected our 26’-27’ club leaders and were honored to share our Distinguished Status for the 2024–2025 year from our district.
We also recognized one of our incredible Key Clubs faculty advisor, with a well-deserved award for her dedication and support of one of our sponsored youth programs.
Lastly we really loved hearing from the leaders of @cedarshs_keyclub as they shared highlights from their Key Club year and their experiences at LEDCON as our club helped sponsor their attendance!
Thank you to everyone who helped make this year a success so far! & Thank you to @casachapala for hosting us! We can’t wait to continue serving our community together!
