On June 20th, the Club will host its first ever Speed Networking event!
Network within this great club of ours, and possibly with guests, and let others know your “Needs & Leads”. Come prepared to rotate in groups of 3, for 8 minutes, sharing your needs and what a good lead looks like for you! In preparation, please make sure your DACdb profile is up to date, bring plenty of business cards- and most importantly, be prepared and succinct on what your needs and leads are for your business, civic or club needs.
Tuesday’s meeting is the third in a series organized by the Communications and Business Development committees. The series has focused on personal development and how to better network. This winter, Danny O’Malia talked to us about the importance of customer service and follow up. This spring, we heard from a cast of influential and proven leaders on how they have learned to network and build relationships. NOW is the time to take all these best practices, aha Moments, and nuggets of Inspiration and put them to use!
Looking forward to seeing you there!

From the installation of new indoor and outdoor exhibits, the creation of new programming for adults and the development of a strategic vision to guide the museum’s future, Conner Prairie is thriving.

The Rotary Club of Indianapolis is excited to host a service project during our regular club meeting on Tuesday, May 30. Bring your friends, family and colleagues out to experience what our motto, Service Above Self, really means. We’ll work in assembly line fashion to pack over 100 backpacks full of toiletries and essentials that HVAF (Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation) will distribute to homeless veterans in Indianapolis.
HVAF helps homeless veterans return to self-sufficiency and engages at risk veterans to prevent them from becoming homeless by providing supportive housing, case management, food, hygiene and clothing as well as other essential services. Last year, because of the services that HVAF provides, 2,259 veterans had a safe place to sleep, and 1,205 family members including 554 children received the counseling and guidance they needed to help them become self-sufficient.
The program will also include a salute to our Rotary vets, as well as a special message from our own active duty soldier, Major Destiny Scott.
