A new pin. A new Rotarian. And another great addition to Beavercreek Rotary Club!

We were excited to officially welcome Stacie Kawecki Parsons as our newest club member.

We’re looking forward to getting to know her even better, seeing where she gets involved, and having her become part of the many ways Beavercreek Rotary serves and connects our community.

Welcome to the club, Stacie! We’re glad you’re here.

What happens when thousands of college roster spots disappear for student-athletes?

For high school athletes hoping to continue playing at the next level, the answer could be fewer offers, fewer scholarship opportunities, and a much tougher recruiting landscape.

That was one of the biggest takeaways from this week’s Beavercreek Rotary Club program with longtime WHIO radio broadcaster Larry Hansgen WHIO.

Larry shared how dramatically college athletics have changed with NIL, the transfer portal, new roster limits, and the growing pressure on coaches to find players who can contribute immediately.

One number really stood out: approximately 15,000 collegiate athletic opportunities could disappear nationwide as roster limits take effect.

And the impact doesn’t stop with current college athletes.

High school seniors who once may have received an offer and had several years to develop are increasingly competing against experienced college players entering the transfer portal. As coaches look for immediate results, fewer high school athletes may receive the opportunity, and scholarship support, to continue their careers at the college level.

It was a fascinating look at a side of NIL and the transfer portal that doesn’t always receive as much attention: what all of these changes mean for the next generation of student-athletes trying to get their foot in the door.

Of course, Larry also gave us plenty of stories from an incredible career that began in 1981, including studying German, an unexpected adventure in Czechoslovakia, and somehow making it through four days of NSA interviews before his outgoing personality apparently helped derail a potential assignment learning Farsi and working at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran.

Fortunately for Dayton, radio worked out pretty well instead.

Thank you to Larry Hanson for spending Friday morning with Beavercreek Rotary and giving us plenty to think, and laugh, about.

This is what Service Above Self can look like thousands of miles from Beavercreek. 💧🌎

An incredible update from a project we’re proud to be partnering on! Seeing one of the original water sources firsthand helps put into perspective both the challenges these communities face and the impact this work can have.

We’re proud to have members of Beavercreek Rotary involved in this effort and excited to continue following the progress!

If you thought we got a lot of rain last month, you were right.

During August’s heavy rainfall, the Great Miami River Watershed received 10–15 inches of rain over 30 days, and at the peak, four Miami Conservancy District dams were holding back approximately 5.8 billion gallons of water.

And that’s exactly what they were built to do.

Today the Beavercreek Rotary Club welcomed Don O'Connor from the Miami Conservancy District to share the story of the flood-protection system created after the devastating Great Flood of 1913.

More than 100 years later, the system’s five “dry dams” continue to temporarily hold back floodwater and help protect communities throughout the Miami Valley.

Don also discussed the challenges of maintaining century-old infrastructure and preparing it for the future.

It’s easy to take infrastructure for granted when it’s working exactly as intended, and last month was a great reminder of why it matters.

Thank you Don for a fascinating and very timely program!
