  • Rotary-Riley Annual Holiday Party A Huge Success

    Rotary-Riley Annual Holiday Party A Huge Success

    Riley ChildYes, the snow outside was frightful, but the smiles and children indoors where delightful. And of course several hardy Rotarians can accomplish much with the reminder of “service above self.”

    Melissa Sexton, (Riley) and her elves had all the ornament kits ready to go, the live band was tuning up and about a dozen Rotarians and family members gathered to host our annual ornament making party for the kids and their families at the Riley Children’s Hospital, Thursday December 5. Our own Jessica Bex was our organizer and beautiful cheerleader.

    As snow and sleet blew around outside we had the privilege of helping precious children, their families and many of their caregivers create ornaments for a beautifully lighted tree waiting to be decorated.

    Back for his second year as “official” photographer Bob McColgin took video and photographs of the event. See the video here or on the home page (scroll down) of the Indy Rotary website.

    Thank you Rotarians – you are amazing members and we are an amazing Club doing good for the community.

  • Rotarians Are Ringing the Bells for Salvation Army

    Rotarians Are Ringing the Bells for Salvation Army

    For years, Rotary Club of Indianapolis members have rung the bell for the Salvation Army.  As you travel throughout the city, please look for your fellow members – you might see them asking for donations to help those in need!

    And, in related news – as the holidays quickly approach, take some time to give back! Select a toy for the children at Riley Hospital, take a tag from the Plea Tree on Tuesday (set up in the lobby before and after our luncheons) and / or send your Salvation Army donations to the Rotary Office.

    Happy holidays!
