100 Club of Central Texas - Etta Moore

It is a non-profit dedicated to serving the families of first responders (including game wardens) of Central Texas who have been killed or critically injured in the line of duty.  The organization was formed when William Packard asked 100 friends to contribute and got 100% participation. All 100 Clubs are autonomous. The Central Texas Club formed in Austin in 1983 and later expanded to include 6 counties: Bastrop, Bell, Caldwell, Hays, Travis and Williamson.
