Club members worked with Oak Hill United Methodist Church to prepare food at the Rise Against Hunger Event to feed 10,000 people.
We successfully had a flash book drive earlier this month thanks to our connection with Streetbooks ATX. Rotarian Keith came across a very large amount of used books, and we knew it could go somewhere other than the landfill. Patrick Crowley with Streetbooks was able to take them, and he'll add them to his collection for books that go out on his mobile library. He also will donate some to Violet KeepSafe Storage as part of their library there. Because of our community connections, we were able to keep over 300 books out of the landfill and hopefully into the hands of someone in need of entertainment, comfort or a little bit of escapism. Patti Chesney has cal
led Austin home for over 40 years. A former civil engineer and math teacher, she brings an analytical, education-first approach to real estate — helping buyers and sellers from Southwest to Northwest Austin navigate one of life's biggest decisions with clear information and honest guidance. In her fifth year as a licensed agent with Bramlett Partners, Patti runs a boutique practice built on referrals and long-term relationships, focused on the communities she knows best. Her philosophy is simple: Solve for Homes!`
Patti is a fabulous realtor who helped my husband and I sell our previous Southwest Austin home in one weekend when the average time on the market was closer to 60 days. She helped us find our dream forever home by really taking time to get to know our family and our particular needs. Patti has firm grasp on the Southwest Austin real estate market and I still enjoy reading her insight emails on the homes in my neighborhood.
This would be a great week to invite a friend, colleague, or family member to Rotary! It's bound to be a great talk that many of your friends and neighbors will find interesting.
See y'all Thursday and don't hesitate to invite someone else... guest lunches are on us!
