Sometimes our Tuesday Indy Rotary programs are just extra special. Today, January 20, 2015 was just one of those programs. Rev. Charles Harrison delivered an unforgettable Martin Luther King Junior program that was one of the best, ever. It was emotional, powerful and an important program to experience.

The Rotary Club of Indianapolis is well-known for having the best programs in the state – every week! But, on occasion a handful of programs go beyond just being good, but truly great.

Thank you Reverend Harrison for sharing your message with us today.
