Decatur-IN Rotary Club

Last night we enjoyed the music of Sweetwater, had loads of fun and congratulate Dan Evans for all his support and finally winning the 50/50.

Update from The Decatur Main Street: Taylor Braun, a recent Purdue Fort Wayne graduate and lifelong Adams County resident, visited the Decatur Rotary Club as the new Executive Director of Decatur Main Street. Taylor shared her excitement for leading Main Street and highlighted plans to strengthen downtown Decatur for both residents and visitors. She announced the upcoming Downtown Decatur Days, set for June 19-20, featuring two days of entertainment, shopping, food, and activities for all ages.

A key milestone for Decatur Main Street this year is earning full accreditation, opening the door for new growth and opportunities downtown. Taylor encouraged community members to keep an eye out for upcoming events and to get involved by volunteering. For more information or to help support downtown activities, contact Taylor Braun at (260) 307-2245. Decatur Rotary Club meets every Thursday at 2 Brothers in Decatur at Noon.

Project Connect Gives Update to Rotary Club: The Decatur Rotary Club recently welcomed Rob Parker, executive director of Project Connect, and Sarah DeRossett, who shared how the organization helps individuals transitioning from jail or prison by connecting them with needed services and support.
Project Connect aims to bridge the gap for both men and women reentering the community, offering guidance and stability during a critical time. The organization currently operates three recovery houses—two in Berne and a newly opened home in Decatur—and is expanding with office space in the former Rice Hotel at Third and Madison streets in Decatur. Parker, formerly director of Crossroads Community, emphasized the importance of community partnerships in helping participants rebuild their lives.
