Message from President Michael Schiele
Out of an abundance of caution and to keep our members healthy and safe, the Rotary Club of Indianapolis is cancelling our regular Tuesday meetings through March 31, 2020. We are also postponing any committee event that is scheduled between now and March 31, 2020. We did not make this decision lightly, and we have no documented cases of COVID-19. However, we wish to adhere to the community guidelines put forth by our governor and mayor.
Our Four-Way Test asks us “is it fair to all concerned?” While many of us may feel healthy and want to interact socially, we must be mindful of our friends and family members whose health challenges may make them more vulnerable to COVID-19.
In the meantime, here are a few ways we encourage Rotarians to continue to connect and create community as good stewards of our great club:
Look for more frequent communications from the club in the coming weeks. Thank you for your flexibility, patience and grace as we continue to navigate this rapidly-changing situation.
On June 20th, the Club will host its first ever Speed Networking event!
Network within this great club of ours, and possibly with guests, and let others know your “Needs & Leads”. Come prepared to rotate in groups of 3, for 8 minutes, sharing your needs and what a good lead looks like for you! In preparation, please make sure your DACdb profile is up to date, bring plenty of business cards- and most importantly, be prepared and succinct on what your needs and leads are for your business, civic or club needs.
Tuesday’s meeting is the third in a series organized by the Communications and Business Development committees. The series has focused on personal development and how to better network. This winter, Danny O’Malia talked to us about the importance of customer service and follow up. This spring, we heard from a cast of influential and proven leaders on how they have learned to network and build relationships. NOW is the time to take all these best practices, aha Moments, and nuggets of Inspiration and put them to use!
Looking forward to seeing you there!
