  • November 16: Corporate Membership Breakfast Series

    Corporate membership breakfasts are back and the next one is quickly approaching on Wednesday, November 16th at Conner Insurance.

    The meetings will be from 7:30 am – 9:00 am with the first 20-30 minutes dedicated to networking/introductions/business items, etc. followed by a 45-minute speaker presentation with time for Q&A.

    On November 16 we will hear from sought after speaker, author and advisor, CJ McClanahan.

    Since 2003, CJ has spent more than 10,000 hours in front of entrepreneurs, executives and their teams helping them achieve personal and professional breakthrough goals.

    However, no matter how much success his clients achieved, few ever seemed to truly enjoy the journey. It didn’t matter if they doubled their income or became CEO – it never seemed to be enough.

    CJ has spent the last 19 years uncovering strategies to help fellow recovering overachievers get more satisfaction and joy in their lives while still achieving their professional goals.


    This event is for Rotary Club of Indianapolis Corporate Members or those interested in becoming a corporate member. Please register on Eventbrite if you plan on attending.

    Save the date for the following future corporate member breakfasts:
    Wednesday, January 11, 2023

  • October 8: Service Opportunity with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful

    October 8: Service Opportunity with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful

    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!
