Chelsie Higdon has been a part of the Kiwanis Family going on nine years now and is honored to continue that journey with the Kiwanis Club of Silicon Hills.
A previous CKI member, Chelsie has held a variety of roles since 2016 ending her journey as an International Trustee and being inducted into CKI Hall of Fame, this love for our SLPs continued as she served as Assistant District Admin for the Carolinas District for two years prior to her move to Austin, TX. From there she joined our club became part of the Board of Directors and was recently elected President-Elect for our club for the 25-26 year where she also decided to continue her love for CKI by being appointed as an ADA for the Texas Oklahoma District of CKI as well.
Outside of her Kiwanis family journey, Chelsie is a Senior IT Project Manager at the General Land Office here in Austin, and also a provisional member for the Junior League of Austin continuing her love for serving others. She’s engaged to one of our other members Brandon Phifer with plans to be married this October back home in NC. She enjoys traveling with her partner especially to national parks where they’ve visited 23/63 at this time, loves going to local concerts, and comedy shows here in Austin and loves to cuddle with their cat Evelyn when at home. Overall, She looks forward to her upcoming presidential term for the club and helping the club continue to reach its potential.
We’re an organization of volunteers serving the community and children of greater Austin, Texas.
As we commemorate this Martin Luther King Jr Day, we’re grateful to our Cedar Park and Leander community supporters, including our newest one this year, @serenitea_cup, for their participation in our flag program!
Donations from the program support our sponsored Key Clubs and service projects across the area.
We were thrilled to have Audrey from @fostervillageaustin join us at our meeting last night to tell us about the innovate work they’re doing in Austin and across the country to support families and children in the foster care system. We’re looking forward to opportunities to get involved!
In a surprise during our conversation, we learned that she discovered her love of service when she was the charter club president of @mnthskeyclub!
We also had a late presentation to Howard Friedman as our outstanding new member for the 2024-25 year! Since joining he’s been a regular at meetings, volunteers with us at the Ronald McDonald House, and at the butterfly festival at Winn.
Grateful for the @thejuniorleagueofaustin letting us come out and help sort coats for kids with other amazing organizations, we were able to sort over 3000+ coats for kids! They will hand out over 30k coats back to our community so we are happy to play a small part in that process!
