The 4-Way Test Program is an amazing opportunity which allows Rotarians to interact with students, giving them ideas/techniques and tactics for great decision making throughout their lives! And all it costs you is a couple hours of your time.
These activities are vital to the student’s growth and foundation, and we promise the experience is rewarding, eye-opening and fun!
Join us for our 4-Way Tests on Thursday, November 3 from 8:45-10:45 a.m. at Christel House South Academy (2405 Madison Ave) and Thursday, November 17 at Christel House West (55 N. Tibbs Ave).
Contact Mike Crowley or the office to volunteer or if you have any questions.
| Plant. Care. Grow. The goal of Keep Indianapolis Beautiful is to increase tree cover in Indianapolis by planting 100,000 large trees – with trunks 1″ in diameter or larger at planting time -in strategic locations. Together we can grow our city’s tree canopy and make Indy a better place to live, work, and play. KIB’s marketing and promotions plan provides many opportunities for positive exposure to hundreds of neighborhoods, including thousands of residents, volunteers, and online followers. Sometimes, keeping our city beautiful is as simple as planting a tree. Trees enhance our lives in more ways than you might think. KIB coordinates a number of programs dedicated to planting, preserving, and educating people about trees. (Visit kibi.org for more information!) On Saturday, Oct. 8 from 9 am -12 pm, join the Rotary Environment and Beautification Committee at 3433 N. Central Ave. 46205 at Constitution Gardens GreenSpace, where we’ll be planting trees and perennials, spreading mulch, and perhaps raking gravel for walkways. KIB will: – Provide a professionally led day of service for Rotary, with all tools necessary – Provide acknowledgment of the Indianapolis Rotary Foundation’s support via two posts on social media – Spotlight the Rotary day of service in KIB’s Get the Dirt newsletter, including a photo Please contact Marie Koenig koenigmarie55@gmail.com 317-509-0525 or Erika Earl eearl@rje-bi.com by Oct. 5 if you are able to help! Families welcome. We would like at least 12 participants, thank you! |
