Austin AmeriCorps Alums have been working this year to build a community of Alums through social events at the Millennium Youth Complex, and Uncle Billy's Brew and Cue every 3rd Tuesday. The Alums group has also been creating a dialogue with members of the organization surrounding service in Austin and has had the pleasure to serve alongside Austinites during the MLK Clean Up, the Austin Parks Day, the Annual Science Fair, and at the 2nd Annual Bevo Bash for UT Elementary School.

Throughout these events / service days, Austin AmeriCorps Alums has been working to compile Rosie Poses for our blog. We are so happy to be able to share a few gems with you here.

Please check out our upcoming Happiest Happy Hour this Tuesday from
6 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Uncle Billy's Brew and Cue.
