The 4-Way Test Program is a fantastic opportunity for Rotarians to engage with students, offering valuable tools, techniques, and strategies for making thoughtful, ethical decisions that will serve them throughout their lives. By participating, you’ll help instill essential skills in young people while providing them with insights that will shape their future.
This initiative is not only impactful for the students, but also incredibly rewarding for the volunteers. It’s a chance to witness firsthand the growth and development of the next generation and be part of their educational journey. We promise the experience will be eye-opening, fun, and a fulfilling way to give back to the community!
For our newer members, this is an excellent way to get involved with Rotary and experience our mission in action. We welcome everyone to be part of this meaningful program!
Our next 4-Way Test will be on Wednesday, November 19 at 8 am at Christel House South Academy, located at 2405 Madison Avenue, Indianapolis.

On October 20, Rotarians Tom Fodor, Ken Barlow, Zeelyn Stutz, Autumn Bryant, and Dr. Dre Knox visited Perry Meridian High School for our first-ever Rotary Career Chat. The goal was simple: to give students a glimpse into their future careers and to remind them that every professional journey starts where they are now.
The Rotarians shared stories of challenges overcome and the importance of hard work and perseverance. More than 60 students attended the session, where careers in law, education, nonprofit management, architecture, and professional sports were highlighted.
Special thanks to Perry Meridian Interact Club President Bryan Nguyen and Co-Advisor Joseph Bird for their warm welcome and for truly living the Rotary motto, “Service Above Self.”

Last Saturday, our dedicated team of ten Rotarians from the Environment & Beautification Committee, along with five enthusiastic guests, gathered at Sargent Road Nature Park for a rewarding day of service.
We undertook two significant projects aimed at enhancing the park’s accessibility and beauty. The first project involved improving the new entrance to the park. We moved earth, secured landscape fabric, and added fresh mulch, creating a welcoming entryway for visitors.
Our second project focused on the gravel path, which had been affected by heavy rain. We cleared away the washed-out gravel, laid down a plastic lattice for stability, and then carefully replaced the gravel, ensuring a smooth and safe walking surface.
While the tasks were physically demanding, the camaraderie and shared purpose made the experience truly enjoyable. A heartfelt thank you to Ben Miller and Mud Creek Conservancy for partnering with us and enabling our volunteer efforts to have a positive impact on the community. Together, we’re making a difference!
Sargent Road Nature Park is located at the southeast corner of 82nd Street and Sargent Road in the Castleton area and is open from dawn to dusk.
