Congratulations to Michigan City Rotarian Jim Neff.
James D. Neff, president of Horizon Bank, Michigan City, and Horizon Bancorp, is being honored by the Indiana Bankers Association with the IBA Leaders in Banking Excellence award, to be presented on Aug. 16 at the IBA Annual Convention in French Lick. This award celebrates exceptional leaders who have positively impacted Indiana banks and communities. Six other members of the Indiana banking community are being inducted

At the upcoming awards event, Indiana dignitaries will be making presentations, and award recipients will have the opportunity to offer comments. Each honoree will be presented with an ebony plaque etched with a portrait and biography. Identical crystal plaques will be on permanent display at the IBA offices in Indianapolis.

Join the Strive Program
July 15th we had our first meeting to learn about the STRIVE Program, geared to students who are the first generation to seek formal education beyond high school. A video of former students sharing what they learned and how they benefited from the STRIVE program was shown. Other students who have graduated from college and moved out into the "real world" will be with us later in August. Learn what a difference this program. Can make in a high school student's life...with just one meeting a month with a mentor in a group...all together...can make! Sign up today by submitting your application for a criminal background check. You'll be in good company with other Rotarians.
