May 28: Memorial Day Program

By on May 24, 2019

Rotary welcomes
Leeanne Lollar & Destiny Scott Wells

Join us for our Memorial Day program as we hear from our own Indianapolis Rotarians and military combat veterans Leeanne Lollar, Client Advisor at Old National Wealth Management, and Destiny Scott Wells, Indiana Deputy Attorney General. Both Leeanne and Destiny offer the club a unique perspective not visited before: that of the female veteran. They will present a holistic viewpoint on the modern day veteran, including discussion on the sacrifices made by mothers in combat and their military families over the last 18 years.

Leeanne served in the United States Army and Army Reserves from 2000-2009. She served two year-long combat tours in Iraq. During her time in the Army she led a squad of soldiers doing resupply missions in Iraq supporting the Infantry. Today she volunteers for Employer Support of the NG/ Reserve and assists in coordinating service projects between the bank and veteran focused non-profits. She also serves as a mentor for Big Brothers Big Sisters and serves on the several boards including the Central Indiana Police Foundation.

Destiny will be completing her 16th year of service with the Army Reserve component as a military intelligence major. She has served on multiples tours, most recently completing a 13-month combat tour in Afghanistan where she oversaw the Department of Defense’s linguist services contract. Currently, she is finishing Army Command and General Staff College, along with balancing her full-time career primarily representing the Indiana Department of Correction and its employees in civil prisoner litigation.

We will also have a special video appearance from Major Crystal Glabster, deployed overseas by U.S. Air Force office.

All are welcome at Rotary programs. The lunch buffet opens at Ivy Tech Culinary and Conference Center at 11:45 a.m. and the program runs 12:15 p.m. – 1:15 p.m. See you there!
