This year the Austitch Club is focusing on the Austin Bat Refuge. They say that Austin is the bat capital of North America but even so the critters are still feared and misunderstood. The organization works on rehabilitation and release of orphaned and injured bats, conflict resolution with businesses and homeowners, as well as education through online and in-person events.
Best wishes and happy stitches!
