President's Message

Our Public Relations committee has collected member profiles from four of our members. Click here to see what your fellow Rotarians had to say.
 
Just a reminder that starting in April we will be providing some professional development topics. Plan to join us to learn more about the courses that Rotary is offering members through the Toastmasters Alliance; Uncover your unique rank order of 34 CliftonStrengths themes which are your talent DNA; they explain the ways you most naturally think, feel, and behave; and more. If you have a professional development topic you would like us to present or if you would like to present a topic send me an email at president@mcrotary.org.

Stories
Our February 25th speaker is
Eric Tonk, Gary Indiana Rotarian
 
Conversation with cyclist Eric Tonk regarding his 1,000 mile bicycle trip around Lake Michigan.
 
 
 
Our February 18th speaker was
Patti Shields, Executive Director Ivy Tech Career Coaching and Employer Connections
Located at the Valparaiso Campus and Michigan City/La Porte sites
 
Patti joined the CCEC Valparaiso Team in September. She was most recently the Director of Corporate Outreach at a community college in the Chicago suburbs, but has called NW Indiana home for several years. She looks forward to making connections within our region and creating strong partnerships between Ivy Tech, students, and employers.
 
Career Coaching and Employer Connections (CCEC) is a new initiative at Ivy Tech, a more intentional way of bringing together employers and Ivy Tech students. Patti shared more about the new team and how employers and the community can engage and connect with the college's resources.
 
Rotary has a new area of focus
Protecting the environment.
 
Rotary International is committed to supporting activities that strengthen the conservation and protection of natural resources, advance ecological sustainability, and foster harmony between communities and the environment. RI will empower communities to access grants and other resources, embrace local solutions, and spur innovation in an effort to address the causes and reduce the effects of climate change and environmental degradation.
 
 
 
New online meeting format
Starting January 20 our on line meetings will be run as follows:
 
  • When you join the meeting, you will be placed at a one many of virtual tables with other Rotarians and Guests.
  • Participants will be added to the tables they arrive.
  • One Rotarian has been assigned to the table to lead introductions and some ice breaker questions.
  • After 15 minutes everyone will come back to the main meeting where we will discuss the ice breaker questions.
  • This will be followed by the program.
  • We may have a short Sarge program (optional).
  • The meeting will be adjourned.
We hope you will enjoy the fellowship at your tables prior to the meeting.
