The Rotary Club of Austin created a program many years ago to thank our military for their service. It is called Operation Vacation. In cooperation with Rotary Club of Austin & Killeen Rotary, the base selects a family to spend a complimentary weekend at one of our Austin Hotel. This is PV2 Daemon Hendley and his wife Elayna with the General Manager of the Sonesta Bee Caves Austin Hill Country Hotel, Britt Udemi, one of our hospitality partners that makes this weekend possible.
The couple received a two night stay, complimentary breakfast each morning and a Saturday night BBQ dinner and the works at County Line, another one of our hospitality industry partners. The couple received a backpack full of gift cards, snacks, drinks and passes to Austin Parks and Pizza. It turned out that the couple was celebrating their first anniversary so they got to celebrate it in style. “Thank you for an awesome weekend. It has been a dream and absolute pleasure. We have appreciated everything and it was all put together amazingly. We can’t thank you enough. Thank y’all, thank y’all! says PV2 Hendley. Thanks to our hospitality partners and Rotary, we were able to show our appreciation again to one of our cherished soldiers.
