The Rotary Club of Carmel reaffirmed its dedication to serving the community through its recent volunteer activity at The STEM Connection.
True to the Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self,” members of the club came together to pack STEM kits for children, enriching their educational experiences and fostering a love for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The STEM kits, meticulously assembled by Carmel Rotarians, are designed to inspire young minds and encourage exploration in the realms of science and technology. These kits will be distributed to children in the community, ensuring access to valuable educational resources beyond the confines of the classroom.

Highlighting the Rotary Club of Carmel’s commitment to community service is the generous contribution of Julie Standish, a dedicated Carmel Rotarian and former owner of CompuChild, a national franchise company specializing in STEM education for children. Leveraging her expertise and passion for STEM education, Standish donated a portion of her former company’s inventory to The STEM Connection, furthering the Rotary Club’s mission to support educational initiatives in the community.
“We are immensely proud of the unwavering dedication of our members to the principle of service above self,” Rotary Club of Carmel President Arnold Elston said. “Through initiatives like the STEM kit packing event and the generous donation from Julie Standish, we continue to make a positive impact on the lives of children.”
The Rotary Club of Carmel remains steadfast in its commitment to serving the community, embodying the spirit of altruism and compassion that defines the organization worldwide. As advocates for positive change, Carmel Rotarians are poised to continue their efforts in supporting educational initiatives and fostering a brighter future for all.
