Riverbend Rotary Member Spotlight: Matt Kotzamanis

This month’s Riverbend Rotarian Spotlight is Matthew Kotzamanis, a loan officer with Liberty Bank at their Godfrey location, where he helps area residents with their mortgage and personal loans.

Originally from Chicago and now a Bethalto resident, Matt graduated from Hall High School in Spring Valley, as well as from Millikin University in Decatur. He and his wife, Brandy, have two children: John, a junior at Civic Memorial High School, and Lacy, an ER nurse in Texas. His hobbies include hunting, fitness and rooting on his son playing CM Eagles basketball and baseball!

As an active member of the Bethalto Kiwanis and a founding member of Riverbend Rotary, Matt understands that community service and volunteerism are investments in both communities and people. “Giving back to the community is important to me.  

“And our focus on children and elderly are important focuses of our organization.”

Riverbend Rotary meets on Thursdays at Noon at Senior Services Plus in Alton. To learn more about Riverbend Rotary and/or become a member, visit our website at riverbendrotary.com

Craft Your Perfect Presentation with

Our New Riverbend Rotary
Speakers' Template!

Speaking to a Rotary Club audience can be an exciting, but sometimes daunting, opportunity.

We've created a template to help guide you in crafting a presentation that not only informs but also entertains and inspires.

Using this tool, you'll be able to articulate your passions, highlight the importance of your cause, and engage your audience in meaningful ways.

As an example, we've used a humorous, imaginative topic: "The Society for the Protection and Advancement of Invisible Unicorns (SPA-IU)".

This fictitious charity serves as an illustrative guide for how you might structure your own presentation, providing a clear and engaging path from introduction to conclusion.

This template, along with Toastmasters best practices, will assist you in building a compelling narrative, connecting with your audience, and delivering a powerful call to action.

Remember, the key to a successful presentation is authenticity, preparation, and a deep understanding of your topic.

Now, it's your turn to bring your passions to the stage. Whether you're

advocating for invisible unicorns, local community initiatives, or global change, we're excited to hear your story and learn from your journey.

Together, we'll continue the Rotary Club tradition of learning, sharing, and inspiring action in our community.

Get started with our presentation template today and prepare to make a lasting impression at your next Rotary Club meeting!
