Greetings from District Governor Mandy Jo Lohrum!
As I reflect on the All Indiana District Conference, I am filled with deep gratitude, pride, and a renewed sense of purpose. This gathering was more than just a conference — it was a celebration of who we are as Rotarians: servant leaders, changemakers, and unwavering advocates for community.
From the opening moments to the final goodbyes, there was a tangible energy in the air — a spirit of collaboration, innovation, and joy. Whether in keynote sessions, interactive workshops, hallway conversations, or shared meals, I witnessed an incredible exchange of ideas and experiences. Rotarians from across Indiana came together not just to learn but to inspire and challenge one another to dream bigger, serve more boldly, and lead with even greater compassion.
One of the most powerful moments was the Pack Away Hunger project. Watching our hands come together to pack 15,000 meals for communities across the state was a poignant reminder of the heart of Rotary — service above self in action. It was a moment of unity, purpose, and care that will continue to feed both bodies and spirits long after the conference ends.
I am especially proud of how District 6580 showed up — with vision, heart, and a willingness to collaborate across the state. The initiatives, partnerships, and projects shared at the conference reflect a district that is forward-thinking yet firmly rooted in Rotary values. We are not just responding to today’s needs — we are investing in tomorrow’s leaders and building a sustainable future.
To our organizers, volunteers, speakers, and participants — thank you. Your dedication, hard work, and enthusiasm were the reason this event was such a success. You brought the Rotary spirit to life.
Let’s take the energy we felt in that shared space and turn it into action — in our service projects, our meetings, and our daily lives. The best of Rotary is not behind us; it’s ahead of us. And together, we will shape it.
With gratitude and Rotary pride,
Mandy Jo Lohrum Rotary District 6580
