The Greencastle Rotary Club inducted Brooke Trissel as its 2020-21 president on Wednesday.

The yearly inductions usually take place at the Inn at DePauw; however, given the COVID 19 pandemic, the induction took place via Zoom meeting.

Past President Jacqui Ellis inducted Trissel as she received the official presidential pin from her seven-year-old son, Porter.

“It is an honor to be the Greencastle Rotary president and being able to share the experience with my son made it even more special,” Trissel said.

“Rotary Opens Opportunities” is the Rotary International theme for the upcoming year and Trissel provided the group with information regarding continuing to create relationships between Rotary and community organizations, as the common goal is the create a positive impact on the community.

Trissel has been a Rotarian since 2012. She formally chaired the public relations committee on the board of directors, working on projects such as the Polio Wine and Chocolate Event.

Anyone interested in learning more about Rotary or being a guest at a Zoom or in person meeting (hopefully soon) may contact the Greencastle Rotary Club via Facebook.

“I would love to invite anyone that has more interest in Rotary to please reach out to me,” Trissel said. “Come and be my guest at a meeting or let’s grab a coffee and chat about what a positive impact Rotary has had on me and our community.”
