The Rotary Club of Ankeny Evening, Iowa, USA has received notice that their charter had been approved by Rotary International. Their 30 charter members will be transferred from the Rotary Club of Ankeny to the new Rotary Club of Ankeny Evening effective on their official "Charter Date" of July 1, 2023.
This is a mere 3,912 days after the Board of Directors for the Rotary Club of Ankeny approved a motion to provide support for chartering a satellite club at their meeting on October 14, 2012. Their first meeting was held on October 23, 2012, at Wig & Pen with six prospective members and three noon members present. The first three members, Kristofer Orth, Amnda Rosman and Steve Wieneke were inducted into the Club on November 20, 2012. Kristofer was chosen to be the club's President-Elect, a position he filled for over 5 years until July 1, 2018, when Steve became President-Elect. It is only fitting that Kristofer be the Club's "Charter President" for the 2023-2024 year.
The new club will be hosting a Charter Night on July 1lth at Magee's Irish Pub on July 11th beginning at 5:30 PM with a short program at 6:15 PM. All members of both the Rotary Club of Ankeny and the Rotary Club of Ankeny Evening are invited to attend.
Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Ankeny Evening and all it's members!!
