2020 Tribute to Veterans Sponsored by Dripping Springs Rotary Club
With the risk of Covid-19 this year, we are not able to host our traditional dinner and dance for local veterans and their families. However, we definitely want them to know that we appreciate and remember them.
In place of our regular event, the Dripping Springs Rotary Club will be hosting a ‘drive thru’ recognition event on the afternoon of Veteran’s Day, Wednesday, November 11, 2020. The drive thru will be decorated with American flags, a banner in recognition of their service, and lots of red, white, & blue. ‘Thank You’ gift bags will be given to each veteran as they drive thru. The gift bags will include a Veteran’s lapel pin, a CD from the Hot Texas Swing Band that normally performs at our event, several other patriotic themed items, and gift cards to various local businesses that want to support our Veterans on their special day.
Can we count on your help in making this tribute a success by making a donation of money, gift cards, or merchandise to help us thank our Veterans? We are particularly wanting to provide gift cards for meals and treats at local restaurants since we can’t provide a sit down dinner this year.
Sponsorships are also available. Sponsors will receive recognition on the banner, on the Thank You note inside each bag, and on our publicity posters.
Sponsorship Levels:
Benefactor $1,000
Patron $750
Advocate $500
Friend $250
All contributions will go towards the Veteran’s gift bags and funding of their new building, Patriots Hall.
Dripping Springs Rotary Foundation is 501(c)3 certified and donations are tax deductible.
We really need your help with this as most of the Veteran’s Day appreciation events have been canceled this year. Let’s make sure they know we remember them.

The 15th Annual Veteran's Day Dinner and Dance took place on November 11, at the new Mercer Street Dance Hall from 5 to 8 pm, with music from the Hot Texas Swing Band. Despite the cold, wet weather, there was a great turnout for the event. Our Veterans enjoyed food, music, fellowship, and dancing. Thanks to the event sponsors and donations we were honored to present a check for over $5000 to the Patriot Hall building fund to help begin construction on a new building for our local Veteran's groups.
