Rotary Youth Exchange Information Night, September 12
Would you like to study abroad? Do you ever dream of living in another country?
Maybe Rotary Youth Exchange is for you. Questions? Contact dist6560ryechair[at]gmail.com.
An information night for Rotary Youth Exchange will be held at the Carmel High School Community Room on Thursday, September 12th from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. This session is for interested students and their parents to learn more about RYE, and whether or not it is the program for them. It is not a commitment, just a chance to learn more about the Program.
RYE is for students ages 16-17, typically sophomores applying for their junior year abroad. It is a full academic year in another country. You will live in a host home and attend a local high school. It is the best program of its kind, and one of the least expensive programs in existence.
Join us to learn more. The Community Room is in the west wing of Carmel High School, on the first floor, just north of the school cafeteria. The exterior entrance door number is 7 South. CHS is located at 520 East Main Street, Carmel 46032. That is just a few blocks west of Keystone / Hwy 431 on Main Street (131st Street to the west of Keystone).

Partners In Housing – $25,000 Grant
The Indianapolis Rotary Foundation recently granted Partners in Housing, $25,000.
The mission of Partners In Housing is to provide affordable housing to people who most need a stable place to live, while giving them support and a chance to reach their highest level of self-sufficiency.
To clarify the PIH mission we define our target population as people who: (a) have experienced homelessness (chronic or situational); (b) are actively at risk of homelessness due to a history of multiple challenges, such as extremely low income, minimal or no support network, chronic illness, disabilities, and other special needs; or (c) are vulnerable due solely to extremely low incomes even though they may have a support network and have no other significant risk factors.

Annual 2013 Rotary Verses Kiwanis Softball
The summer solstice provided the longest day of the year and also the most innings in a Rotary vs. Kiwanis softball game on Friday night, June 21, 2013.
See more photos from the game.
Showcased as the “grudge match” because of a tie game in 2012, the 2013 softball game looked like it may end in another tie. However, in the top of the 6th inning the offense of the Kiwanis was a bit too much for Rotary as a single blast scored the only run ending the game with a Kiwanis victory: Kiwanis 1 – Rotary 0.
Not to be forgotten however, was a wonderful time had by all the players (including Kiwanis) and cheerleaders from both clubs. Both clubs sold nearly 200 tickets to the game and on a beautiful Friday night in Indianapolis enjoyed an Indians game and Friday Night Fireworks after the game.
