The Rotary Club of Austin in partnership with the Austin Hotel Lodging Association, The Austin Convention & Visitors Bureau, County Line Restaurants, Rotary Club of Killeen, Toyota Killeen, Super Shuttle and Around Austin hosted a military family from Ft. Hood for an R&R weekend in Austin through Operation Vacation. The family was SFC Julian Benavides, his wife Beatriz and three of their five children. The Hyatt Regency Austin provided lakeside rooms with meals and  parking while the family enjoyed a trip on the Duck Adventures and  a day at Austin Parks. On Saturday night they were treated to a true Texas BBQ at the County Line on the Lake with flowers and all the trimmings. This program was adopted by the Rotary clubs of Austin and Killeen in order to have a way to thank our military soldiers for the sacrifices they make for us every day while  keeping us safe and serving their country. Thanks Austin for showing them a great time and our Austin hospitality.
