This Week's Program

RYLA - 2016
 
 

RYLA - 2016

 Rotary Club of Indianola sent four students to RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) this summer. The week-long Leadership event was held in late July in Grinnell. Students attending from Indianola High School included: Christine Gim, Abby Green, Joe Mathieu, and Ally O'Meara. They are planning to attend Rotary this Friday and will be our program, so plan to attend and be prepared to be inspired by their knowledge and desire to help their community become a better place for all.
 
In the picture of the meeting for Interact last week:  
Ally (3rd from Left) and  Abby (4th from Left).

Thought For The Day

“I may not be the fastest
I may not be the tallest
Or the strongest
I may not be the best
Or the brightest
But one thing I can do better
Than anyone else . . .
That is
To be me”
Leonard Nimoy

Balloon Parking

Thank you!
 
We had a great run at the Balloon Classic this year.  With only one or two questionable nights, we almost filled the field Saturday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.  Each of those nights we also had assistance from Christian Union Church's Youth Group selling tickets.
 
Complaints were limited to people frustrated with the length of time it took to leave the field after the night's events were over.
After the first Saturday, we did adjust the start time on busy days each afternoon to 3:30 p.m. which seemed to help out quite a bit.
 
We are reviewing our system to see if any changes need to be made for next year. If you have suggestions please let me know.

Program Suggestions
 
Area fuel stations are installing new “blender pumps” which allow drivers to fill their vehicles up with higher ethanol blends like E 15 fuel. Many of these blender pumps are being installed by Kum & Go, but there are other stations in central Iowa offering E15 fuel (the Murphy USA in Indianola). 
 
In light of the new installations and greater availability of E15 fuel, Growth Energy thought it would be prime opportunity to educate community leaders about the new pumps, the fuel options available and the benefits it provides to the environment, economy (especially Iowa’s) and pocket book. Growth Energy is an organization committed to the promise of agriculture and growing America’s economy through cleaner, greener energy.
