Presidential Message

Stephanie A. Urchick

President 2024-25

January 2025

I always walk into meetings at my home club of McMurray, Pennsylvania, with a smile on my face.

A few years ago, someone arrived late. Instead of scolding the person, we cheered. Since then, we’ve made it a tradition to applaud all members when they arrive for meetings. It’s tough not to smile with a greeting like that.

There’s nothing more powerful for engaging and retaining members than a club that’s vibrant, welcoming, and — yes — fun.

Rotary Youth Exchange - Local Level

Rotary Club of Indianola has been involved with Rotary Youth Exchange since the 1960's.

After 911, travel restrictions and other issues created reluctance by host families to participate and our Club was unable to host inbound students. Club officials are working diligently to restart the inbound program again, but we need Student and Host Family support.

In 2023, our Club approved an application for outbound studies for a local student to study in France. Norah came home in June 2024 with a new perspective and an appreciation for Rotary and other cultures.

Candidates for Rotary Youth Exchange are students 15-19 years of age and leaders in their schools and communities.

Rotary Youth Exchange requires long-term planning which makes it advisable to contact Rotary Club of Indianola a year or more before planning an outbound experience.

Host Families are the optimal resource needed by our Club to host inbound students from other countries to our community.

For more information, please contact a member of Rotary Club of Indianola.
