May is Youth Service Month

President 2020-21
June 2021
In January 2020, when I announced my presidential theme, Rotary Opens Opportunities, and spoke of the changes that Rotary needed to embrace, none of us had any idea how quickly change would arrive. But I am a longtime believer in seeing challenges as opportunities. This year, we seized new opportunities to reimagine what Rotary could be. For years, we had discussed ways to make Rotary flexible and adaptable, and we had tried a few experiments. This year, we all experimented — and succeeded! Online meetings are a regular fixture now as clubs invite guests from across the globe.
Susanne and I love to meet members of the family of Rotary around the world, and we’ve missed seeing you in person over the past year. But for me, it was a new way of experiencing Rotary. We traveled the world virtually. I definitely met thousands more of you than I would have otherwise. I never set foot in my office in Evanston as president, yet we found new ways to get the job done while cutting travel costs.
Rotary Club of Indianola's Weekly meeting on Friday's at Noon is meeting in person at the Indianola Country Club. Members follow social distancing regulations during the meeting.
It is also possible to attend the Noon meeting via Zoom technology. A link to the meeting has been added to the monthly bulletin which is located on our website at www.indianolarotary.org
