National Balloon Classic
rotary club of Indianola

On Sunday, August 2, 2026 the weather provided the Classic an opportunity to show the public what they really like to do…And the spectators showed up in response.  Rotary Club of Indianola has annually been responsible for directing traffic into the parking area, and wow, were we busy.  This year was the first time in 14 years the overflow area was used for parking and we still could not accommodate all of the individuals and families who came to see balloons, the Nite glow and Drone show.  Thanks to pilot Rick Orey for giving us permission to use his Photo.

RI President's Message

Presidential Message

 

Olayinka H. Babalola

President 2026-27

September 2026
Rotary has always been about people. Not projects. Not numbers. People.

Our goal of reaching 1.25 million Rotarians and 125,000 Rotaractors by our 125th anniversary in 2030 is also about people.

I bring up this goal again not because I expect the number itself to move you. Numbers rarely do. I bring it up because I worry that a goal this large can begin to feel abstract, distant from the everyday work of our clubs. I do not want that to happen. So let us talk, once more, about what is truly behind it.

I want to offer your club a simple exercise. Look back over the last five to seven years and find your best year. Maybe it was a year new members arrived and, more meaningfully, stayed. Maybe it was a year your meetings became something members looked forward to, rather than another obligation on a crowded calendar. Find that year. Then I ask you to do better than your best.

Object of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in
particular, to encourage and foster:

First. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
 
Second. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

Third. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
 
Fourth. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
