Welcome!

Welcome! The Rotary Club of Austin Westlake is a service organization in the West Lake Hills/Rollingwood area of Austin. We are your neighbors, friends, leaders, and problem-solvers who see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change – across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves. We make those differences by fighting to eradicate polio, supporting local schools through scholarships and teacher awards, providing emergency provisions to disaster victims, and in many more ways.

Please join our weekly meeting at West Lake Hills City Hall, located at 4010 Bee Caves Road, West Lake Hills, TX, 78746 from 11:30am to 12:30pm or at any of our other social events. To order lunch from Westlake Modern Market (the club will arrange delivery to the meeting room):
By phone. Be sure to state that your order is for the "Rotary Lunch" to be picked-up up at 10:30 AM the day of the meeting.
By website or mobile app: Place order for pickup at 10:30 the day of the meeting. The first name on the order must include your first name, last initial and the word "Rotary" (for example "Rotary-Dana R.")
