Presidential Message
Stephanie A. Urchick
President 2024-25
August 2024
If we are to truly change the world with The Magic of Rotary, it’s up to all of us to foster a sense of belonging in our clubs. But every club should take its own path to get there, and the Action Plan can help you find your way. What does that look like?
Take for instance the Rotary Club of Beveren-Waas in Belgium. It was chartered in 1974 but has evolved with the times, developing both a strategic plan and a membership plan. To find new members, the club analyzes the city’s professions to help focus its search, and all new members are quickly assigned tasks and roles.
The club also mixes up meeting times, alternating between evening and afternoon sessions, making them accessible for all members.
Sometimes, circumstances force clubs to make changes. But as people of action, we know that behind every obstacle is an opportunity.

Rotary Club of Indianola has been involved with Rotary Youth Exchange since the 1960's. When travel restrictions and other issues created reluctance by host families to participate the Club was unable to host inbound students. Club officials are working diligently to restart the inbound program for the 2024/2025 School year.
Last year 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 appreciation for Rotary.
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 the planned visit.
