RI President's MessagePresidential MessageStephanie A. UrchickPresident 2024-25April 2025As the chill of winter gives way to the warmth of spring, we have an opportunity to rejuvenate our commitments to each other and to the communities we serve. A shining example is the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland in Ontario, whose members support a program providing hot meals to people facing homelessness and food insecurity. On any given evening, the Soup Shack run by Feed Windsor-Essex serves up to 130 people, offering nourishment and a sense of community and care. Club member and Past District Governor Aruna Koushik got the club involved after seeing a news segment about the Soup Shack. Koushik collaborated with club members to quickly approve the purchase of a stove, pots, and pans for its new permanent space. Soon after, club members met with the Soup Shack team, toured the new location, and presented a check for 3,000 Canadian dollars (about US$2,000) to support its efforts. They also committed to volunteering their time to prepare and serve meals once the facility is operational. This exemplifies how Rotary members can come together to address community needs, foster engagement, and make a tangible impact. By identifying opportunities for service and mobilizing resources, we not only support those in need but also strengthen our bonds with each other and with the communities we serve. |

Service Above Self![]() Julie Masters was a friend who served our Rotary Club board meetings at Crouse Cafe for many years. We were sad to hear that health conditions took her so early in life. In recognition of her "Service Above Self", Rotary Club of Indianola, along with Indianola Parks and Rec, planted a Kentucky Coffee Tree at Pickard Park, next to the All-Inclusive Playground, on May 31st, 2024. |

Rotary Centennial Disc Golf CourseRC18 Update 7/3/2023 ![]() Work began on the new Disc Golf course in 2022 and continues on the Front 9 with final seeding, installation of benches and T-Boxes in May 2023. Even though the Front 9 holes are not complete, in 2022 UDisc scored 196 rounds of golf, players logged 131 hours of play, and visited the site from 7 different states. Work has begun on the "back 9", however progress is slow due to the terrain and number of trees that have to be removed to create the 'fairways'. Sponsors will be needed to help fund the addition of at least three bridges, necessary to help players progress from one hole to the next.
