    Indianapolis Colts

    Professional football came to Indianapolis March 28, 1984, when Colts Owner Robert Irsay moved the historic NFL franchise from Baltimore to Indianapolis – the friendly heart of the midwest.

    The roots of the franchise go back to December 28, 1946, when the bankrupt Miami Seahawks of the All-America Football Conference were purchased and relocated in Baltimore by a group headed by Bob Rodenberg. As the result of a contest in Baltimore, won by Charles Evans of Middle River, Md., the team was renamed the “Colts.” On September 7, 1947, wearing green and silver uniforms, the Colts, under Head Coach Cecil Isbell, won their initial AAFC game, 16-7, over the Brooklyn Dodgers. The team concluded its inaugural season before a record Baltimore crowd of 51,583 by losing to the New York Yankees, 21-7. The Colts finished with a 2-11-1 record, good for a fourth place finish in the Eastern Division. The Colts completed the 1948 season with a 7-8 record, tying the Buffalo Bills for the division title. The Colts compiled a 1-11 mark in 1949. Read more…

  • Rotary & JA BizTown

    Rotary & JA BizTown

    On May 8, 2013, Rotarians and others helped with JA BizTown, an effort lead by Rotarian, Lauren Scheldrup. There was wonderful feedback from the teachers and students. Knowledge and experience is invaluable to students and JA cannot thank Rotarians enough for their support.

    If you are ever interested in volunteering in the future, Junior Acheivement of Central Indiana is always in need of JA In-School, JA BizTown and JA Finance Park Virtual volunteers.

    Here are few of the testimonials from that day…

    I want to say a special thank you to Lauren and Sheila for encouraging me to do this. This was a great way for those students to learn a number of important academic and life skills by doing something that the young people obviously enjoyed. It was good to see the enthusiasm, cooperative attitudes and desires to do well that my group exhibited. While I do not know how much I contributed to their learning, it was very interesting and fun to be part of the process.

    Greetings All,
    It was quite fun to spend time with kids on a well run and thought out program. AND, the time with my fellow Rotarians was quite enjoyable! Well done all….
    Cassie Stockamp

    I was impressed with how well run and organized everything was and the kids and volunteers were great. We were glad we participated.
    Robyn Crosson
