Parking With A Heart:  Support Great Charities People - With Game Day Parking for UT Football
 
If you are a UT Football fan, you can go to the game AND help out with great charities.  The Rotary Club of Austin University Area has 5 parking lots available just 3 blocks north of DKR Stadium near E. Dean Keeton St and Medical Arts Parkway.  Lots open 3 hours before game time.  All proceeds from parking go to the charities we support (see the list of our charities here.)
 
Welcome to the
Rotary Club of Austin University Area
 
Our club embodies the Rotary credo of Service Above Self.  We are dedicated to helping the underserved in our Austin community who need it the most. We support our community through local and international service projects in education, health and human services for K-12 and the elderly.  Our primary fundraising effort is the "Park With A Heart" project, where our club members 'work' designated parking lots during UT Football Games.  We also value lifelong education, networking and fellowship.  If you'd like to make a difference in our community, come visit us (we'll buy dinner the first time!) at Shoal Creek Saloon, 909 North Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX 78703 on Monday evenings from 6:15 PM to 7:30 PM. 
Chris Kaiser, our most recent past president, has started his service with the Peace Corps teaching English As a Second Language (ESL)
in Vietnam.  Chris left on October 5th and now is in Hà Nội for his training.  
 
Even though he is in Vietnam, Chris still organized the roster for the parking project on October 19.
 


We are blessed with a smart and friendly and available Country Director, who fetched two volunteers away from their classes for a few days to come talk to us. I feel very lucky to have been able to have coffee with them on an informal basis several times to hear what it will *really* be like at "Post". I know the real challenges now, but am assured that the program is very useful to the Vietnamese and rewarding to the volunteers. 
 
Also, I know my general placement - I will be in a Northern District, and I will be a short bus ride away from Hanoi for the weekends and school holidays. I am very excited, as that's where I originally wanted to be! 

Here is a picture of me outside the gate of one of the oldest pagodas in Hanoi, a short walk from our original hotel.
With our partners at the Rotary Club of Austin and Bookspring. we give away books
to every child at Pecan Springs Elementary.  Watching the excitement on the faces
of the children when they select their own books inspires all of us.  Pictured are
Charles Smaistrla, Aubrey Buxton and Ivan Milman helping give away the books.
