    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.”

    Young Professionals of Rotaract and Rotary Club of Indianapolis Help Raise $11,000 for Timmy Global Health!

    On Friday, August 16, Rotarians “Thought Global,” tested their knowledge of world trivia and competed for great prizes with lots of other donors at the annual Taste of the World Timmy Trivia event. Everyone ate delicious international cuisine prepared by Second Helpings and drank locally crafted beer pairings from Flat 12.

    Rotaract’s goal was to raise $6000 and they surpassed that number by raising $11,000 to benefit lots of lives for Timmy Global Health. Way to go Rotary and Rotaract!

    The Rotary club was well represented by purchasing two tables! Please thank Rotarians Scott Armstrong, Jeff Lake, Lauren Scheldrup, Debbie Hyde, Stacey Blanton, Patrick Broccolo, and Greg Albright.

    And, a special thank you to ALL of the Rotaract participants and organizers who made this event possible, including President Tyler Droste, Chris Bean and Grant McCoy!
