    Rotary Career Chat Draws Dozens!

    On October 20, Rotarians Tom Fodor, Ken Barlow, Zeelyn Stutz, Autumn Bryant, and Dr. Dre Knox visited Perry Meridian High School for our first-ever Rotary Career Chat. The goal was simple: to give students a glimpse into their future careers and to remind them that every professional journey starts where they are now.

    The Rotarians shared stories of challenges overcome and the importance of hard work and perseverance. More than 60 students attended the session, where careers in law, education, nonprofit management, architecture, and professional sports were highlighted.

    Special thanks to Perry Meridian Interact Club President Bryan Nguyen and Co-Advisor Joseph Bird for their warm welcome and for truly living the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.”

  • Interact Clubs Well-Represented at District Conference

    Interact Clubs Well-Represented at District Conference

    Rotary District 6560 Interact Clubs were well-represented at the Annual 6560 Rotary District Conference this November 2nd. Rotarians and Interactors (representing ten Interact Clubs of Central Indiana) assembled 500 Adult Hygiene Packs for distribution to homeless shelters in their towns or counties.

    Peggy Blackard and Bill BattAs stated by one Rotarian, “I think it is important that Rotarians respond appropriately to the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve. The past 15 years of economic downturn has been very damaging to many families in Central Indiana. Many of the area homeless shelters are being overrun with need. We are only doing a small part in helping supply some of the bare necessities to get these people some basic supplies. This project will fill a need and allow our INTERACT students to make a direct contribution in each of their communities.”
