During his presentation, Robert LaFrance reviewed his international career of scholarship and service that brought him to Muncie Noon Rotary in 2015. He also gave the members an opportunity to discuss their roles, reasons for becoming Rotarians, and ideas for Muncie Noon Rotary for the next year.

Some upcoming local Rotary service projects include: serving at the front gate of the Delaware County Fair in July, which raises funds for Muncie Central High School athletic teams; cleanup at Rotary Park along the Cardinal Greenway in the fair weather months, which engages members from both the Muncie Noon Rotary Club and the Sunrise Rotary Club; and offering grant opportunities in August through the Community Foundation of Muncie and Delaware County.

The Muncie Rotary Club, affiliated with the global service organization Rotary International, was founded in 1917 by a group of local business executives, professionals, and community leaders. Muncie Rotary is a catalyst for community leadership, professional development, friendships, service, and international understanding.  The Club meets on Tuesdays at Noon at Minnetrista for lunch, networking, and a feature program.
