William Assamoi is the newest member of the club! Check the previous news story for his full biography.
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!
