We were excited to welcome Kay Powell and Miranda Smith as the newest members of the Rotary Club of Springfield, Illinois! They were inducted as members at our September 8 club meeting.
Kay, a longtime Rotarian, comes to us from North Dakota and now teaches as an Adjunct Professor in the Management, Marketing, and Operations Department at the University of Illinois Springfield (UIS). She chose to transfer her Rotary membership to our club based on our website and social media. At her induction, we presented her with our club flag, which she’ll be sharing with her former club—a wonderful reminder of Rotary’s fellowship and unity.
Miranda, a longtime Central Illinois native living in Taylorville, is the President, Founder, and Chief Vision Officer of Emerald Gardens, a nonprofit working to build community and social connections and fight food insecurity through sustainable food production and education.
Please join us in giving Kay and Miranda a warm Springfield Rotary welcome!
