Welcome from the President – Rotary Club of New Braunfels
Welcome to the Rotary
Club of New Braunfels — where tradition meets transformation, and service shapes our community.For almost 88 incredible years, our club has stood as a beacon of service, leadership, and fellowship in New Braunfels. With 152 dedicated members, we are proud to be one of the most active and impactful service organizations in the region.
Our mission is simple but powerful: Service Above Self. Whether we’re investing in local youth, supporting global health initiatives, or rolling up our sleeves for hands-on community projects, our club lives this motto every single day.
What makes our club truly special is the people — professionals, leaders, and changemakers — united by a common purpose to make a difference. Together, we bring energy, ideas, and action to the causes that matter most to our city and the world.
As President, I’m honored to lead this incredible group of Rotarians during a time of momentum
and opportunity. I invite you to explore our work, join us at a meeting, or partner with us in service. Whether you're a lifelong resident or new to the area, there’s a place for you here — a
place to grow, give back, and be inspired.
Here’s to the next 88 years of impact, innovation, and Rotary service!
Yours in Rotary,
President Garry Montgomery
