The Austin Professional Landmen’s Association (APLA) is excited to announce the 9th Annual Austin Oilman's Sporting Clays Tournament. By supporting this event you will be helping an amazing local organization, Patriots' Hall of Dripping Springs. The mission of Patriots' Hall is to create a permanent retreat and resource hub for Veterans and their families to connect, grow, and thrive. Everyday, young Veterans of recent wars and conflicts return home to face financial difficulties, family transition, and emotional and physical challenges due to their military service. These men and women tend to turn to a computer screen for online support and camaraderie. Most of our local VFW and American Legion post members are Korean and Vietnam Veterans - the men and women we see laying red poppies on soldiers’ graves, raising flags on Memorial Day and directing traffic at our county fairs. However, in the last two decades, memberships have plummeted due to age and the inability to attract the younger generation of Veterans. Patriots’ Hall of Dripping Springs aims to help bridge this gap by welcoming Veterans of all ages and military service to explore therapeutic workshops, art classes, weekend campouts, education and employment seminars, family gatherings, land stewardship, VA Claims Assistance and Wellness Center.
