As Club Secretary, I am excited to announce the official start of the Rotary Club of Indianapolis Board of Directors election process. On March 13 we will elect seven new directors who will serve a two year term. Candidate info forms are available for review by clicking here.
Rotary members in good standing are eligible to vote via absentee ballot or in person on March 13. Download the Absentee Ballot here.
Completed forms can be emailed to Kelly Tingle. You can also email the names of the seven individuals you choose to Kelly Tingle. It is important that you identify yourself in that email or your vote will not count. Absentee voting must be complete by 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 13.
Our Board of Directors helps set the tone, vision and even character of our club for years to come. Thank you in advance for participating in the election and ensuring we have continued outstanding leadership.
The Rotary Club of Indianapolis is proud to announce the candidates for our Board of Directors. Fourteen candidates have been divided into two teams, the “Hubs” and “Spokes” and will be presenting their qualifications and passions during our lunch program on Tuesday, March 6. Rotarians will select seven directors on Tuesday, March 13. In the meantime, this is your chance to get to know some of the candidates by reading the info forms that each candidate completed. Go here to find out more about the candidates.
November 28th kicks off our annual gift drive for Riley Hospital. Look for the Riley Plea Tree at our regular Tuesday luncheons on November 28th, December 5th and December 12th.
The Riley Plea Tree is a tabletop holiday tree with “ornamental tags” that are wish list items designated by our Riley Hospital contact person. Rotarians are encouraged to pull a tag, buy that item, and return it to a Rotary meeting. The gifts we provide are much needed and so appreciated by Riley patients and families, and are distributed directly to patient rooms by the Riley Cheer Guild. We hope you include this as part of your giving this holiday season.
Every year, The Rotary Club of Indianapolis competes with our friends at the downtown Kiwanis Club to see who can raise the most for The Salvation Army! Last year, we lost our beloved trophy, but this year, with your help, we can regain our title!
There are two ways to support the effort:
1. Sign up for a 1 hour time slot to help ring bells at Circle Centre Mall on November 30th, December 7th & 14th. Email Jennifer Hobbs to sign up- these spots are filled fast!
2. Make your donation! Checks can be written to The Salvation Army and given to Jamie Stahl at lunch on Tuesdays, or sent to the office at 650 N. Meridian St., Suite 1A, Indianapolis, IN 46204. This year, we will also have a credit card machine at Tuesday lunch on November 28th and December 5th. A simple swipe can make a difference!
Let’s work together to support the work of The Salvation Army and make it the best season ever!
The Association of Fundraising Professionals has recognized The Rotary Foundation with its annual Award for Outstanding Foundation.
The award honors organizations that show philanthropic commitment and leadership through financial support, innovation, encouragement of others, and involvement in public affairs. Some of the boldest names in American giving — Kellogg, Komen, and MacArthur, among others —are past honorees.
AFP’s committee of judges cited Rotary’s comprehensive campaign to eradicate polio as a major driver of the selection. They also mentioned that Rotary applies a methodical, purposeful approach to support a wide variety of causes, from providing clean water to educating the next generation of peace professionals.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from the AFP, which gives us even more reason to celebrate during our Foundation’s centennial year,” says Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Kalyan Banerjee. “The continued strong support of Rotary members will help us keep our promise of a polio-free world for all children and enable the Foundation to carry out its mission of advancing world understanding, goodwill, and peace. We look forward to another 100 years of Rotary members taking action to make communities better around the world.”
To make sure Rotary continues to improve conditions around the world the Rotary Club of Indianapolis’ TRF Committee has set ambitious TRF centennial-year goals.
Our Club’s goals are:
• $40,000 in contributions
• 150 donors
• 25 new donors
• 25 Rotary Direct donors
