B.R.E.W. (Beers Rotarians Enjoy Worldwide)

When: Thursday, January 6 at 6:30  p.m. - 8 p.m.
Where: West Hill Brewing, 219 West Salem in Indianola.

West Hill Brewing released Pearl Crescent Butterfly IPA in mid-December. Pearl has a fruity aroma and pleasant flavor. No butterfly was killed or injured in making the beer. Simpson College staff and West Hill Staff humanely netted local butterflies and swabbed their legs and mouths to isolate cultures to find the special flavor for their unusual beer.

Indianola Rotary is also inviting TEACHERS to join them. Teachers have many of the qualifications they look for in potential Rotary members; service to others, passion, and communication, mentoring, leadership, and adaptability skills. An Evening club allows them to attend meetings.
Cheers!
