| The Rotary Club of Indianapolis is thrilled to announce that beginning July 12, 2022 our club will meet for weekly Tuesday meetings at the recently renovated Murat Shrine, located at 510 New Jersey Street. This is a partnership that has so many wonderful benefits and we are excited for the future of the club. We will continue to offer a hot lunch buffet option at our current pricing. We encourage everyone to signup for the Rotary Value Club (RVC), our prepay lunch program that helps you save on your weekly lunch and program costs. By joining RVC you can save up to $288! Sign up for RVC at https://rotary-club-of-indianapolis.square.site/. When attending meetings please enter the parking lot (free of charge) from E. North Street. You will enter the building on the northside under the Murat Shrine canopy. We will be meeting on the first floor in the Tunisian Room. |

March 19: Sargent Road Nature Park Volunteer Opportunity
On the northeast side of Indianapolis, much of the land has been developed for residential and commercial use. One particular 25-acre parcel located at Sargent Road and 82nd Street represented an opportunity to protect a rare, undeveloped, high quality, urban natural area. Mud Creek Conservancy purchased this property in April 2021 after fundraising for two years.
Now MCC is organizing volunteers to improve this site, named the Sargent Road Nature Park. On Saturday, March 19th from 9 am until 1 pm, Rotarians will work to remove invasive species from the site. We’ll get dirty. We’ll sweat. We’ll grunt. And we’ll have loads of fun.
Be a part of it! Email Norm Melzer at normmelzer@gmail.com and reserve yourself a space. Families welcome. Guests welcome. Join us!

January 5:31 Club – Guggman Haus
Join us for a beer at 5:31pm on January 5th – and stay for dinner if you can!
You’ll find Rotarians gathered at Guggman Haus, a small microbrewery that delivers bold versions of modern and experimental beers in a welcoming retreat. They are located on the old stomping grounds of the Boyle Racing Headquarters on the northwest side of downtown Indianapolis (1701 Gent Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46202).
If you’d like to stay for dinner, Guggman now offers a small, but eclectic menu from their Cabin Kitchen. Then stay for Trivia night which starts at 7:30 pm.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
