The Rotary Spark Podcast - Tim Thelin's Vision of Community through Hospitality - Part 1

The Rotary Spark Podcast

What if your favorite restaurant was more than just a place to eat? Tim Thelin, the heart and soul behind Pelican's Restaurant, shares with us his remarkable journey of transforming a dining spot into a community hub. Despite a technical hiccup with our initial recording, Tim’s passion for hospitality and community engagement shines through as he recounts the challenges and triumphs of running a beloved local establishment. As a committed member of the Midwest City Rotary Club, Tim views his restaurant as a platform for nurturing relationships and supporting local charities. His dedication to quality and community service is a testament to his leadership and vision.
In our conversation, the spotlight also turns to the impactful efforts of Ken and Sally Newey with the Interact and Rotaract programs. These initiatives are empowering young people to step up as leaders and active contributors to their communities. Tim's insights into using technology and social media to engage younger generations in civic organizations open up an exciting dialogue about the future of community involvement. While we may have missed the original recording, we invite you to tune in and be inspired by Tim’s story and his unwavering commitment to making a difference. Stay with us as we plan to bring Tim back for a special episode to capture the essence of our initial discussion.
