Greetings from District Governor Mandy Jo Lohrum! 

February was Rotary’s Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention Month, a time to reflect on our role in fostering understanding and creating a more peaceful world. We are incredibly proud that Rotarians from our district had the honor of attending the Rotary Peace Conference in Turkey, representing our shared commitment to advancing peace on a global scale. Thank you, Ron Dempsey, Jeffery Berger, and Alisa Kaylor for representing District 6580 in Turkey.

This international gathering brought together leaders and changemakers dedicated to conflict resolution and peace initiatives. Their participation is a testament to Rotary’s impact—not just in our local communities, but worldwide. We celebrate their dedication and look forward to applying their insights to strengthen peace-building efforts right here at home.

What Will Your Rotary Legacy Be?

As we work toward a more peaceful future, we also ask: What will your Rotary legacy be? Through our Legacy Campaign, we invite all Rotarians in our district to take part in shaping the future of Rotary. Whether through service, mentorship, or lasting contributions to Rotary initiatives, your impact matters.

One of the most powerful ways to ensure a lasting impact is through Rotary Foundation giving. By supporting the Foundation, we fund scholarships, global grants, and peace initiatives that change lives for generations to come. Every contribution helps strengthen our district’s ability to create a legacy of service, peace, and progress.

Let’s continue to build a better, more peaceful world—one action, one connection, and one legacy at a time. Join us in making a difference.

Yours in Service,

Mandy Jo Lohrum Rotary District 6580

Indiana’s three Rotary districts select Cadet Noah Jager as 2024-25 Rotary Global Grant Scholar and The Rotary Foundation has confirmed Noah Jager as the 2024-25 All-Indiana Rotary Global Scholar. Noah recently graduated from West Point Naval Academy. The three Indiana Rotary districts chose Noah over five other outstanding finalists following January 20 interviews. Noah, endorsed by Bloomington Sunrise Rotary, will use the $40,000 award to pursue a master’s degree in International Peace and Security from King’s College London. Noah’s area of focus: Peacebuilding and Conflict Prevention. After receiving his master’s degree, Noah will serve as an officer in the U.S. Army for a minimum of five years on active duty and three years in the reserves. In his first duty position, Noah will serve as a Military Intelligence Officer specializing in strategic intelligence. After serving in this role, he hopes to become a Foreign Area Officer (FAO), providing liaison with countries in an assigned region through policymaking, military cooperation, and community engagement. Later, Noah plans to return to Indiana where he will practice law and serve in the Indiana National Guard. Ultimately, he plans to address the needs of Hoosiers by serving in the U.S. Congress.
