While our focus is on our local Rotary Club of Michigan City all of our full members are also members of Rotary International. We are a global organization committed to “service above self”, For over 100 years we have been making a significant impact in communities around the world. We are part of a network of local clubs through which Rotary has helped countless individuals, supported various causes, and fostered a spirit of humanitarianism. With the core belief that giving back is a fundamental responsibility we engage in projects and initiatives aimed at addressing societal needs and creating positive change. 

Historically Rotary has  provided resources, knowledge, and support to tackle various challenges. Around the world  Rotary clubs organize fundraising events to generate funds for community development projects.   - These initiatives include building schools, hospitals, and community centers. 

Locally, our club has a long tradition of supporting youth This spring we, as Rotarians have projects that promote leadership, education and literacy through initiatives such as scholarships and literacy programs, Our programs enable individuals to access educational opportunities and enhance their prospects. 

Living our ethic of “service above self” means taking action to provide time, talent and resources. Too often we focus on service as dropping a few dollars during a meeting. Money is important but active service is perhaps more important.  I am calling on all Michigan City Rotarians provide active service this spring.  In the next few days you will receive and email requesting your commitment to serve on various club tasks or community service. These are serious requests. An effective club living its mission is not run by a few officers while the rest of the members are passive.   

Rotary has transformed countless lives – both those who are served and members themselves. Through our collective efforts of our  members, Rotary will continue to make a meaningful difference in Michigan City. Seeing our service will inspire others to join the movement and contribute to a better world.  

Yours in Service, 

Matt Kubik
