Katie joined my team meeting when morale was low and working from home was wearing hard on some of us. She talked about her experience spending months in oceanic isolation and turning every hardship into a challenge. Her relatable way of engaging my team was refreshing and gave us a perspective that brought positivity to us when we needed it!

Ms. Katie Spotz addressed Rotarians of District 3190 at the District Conference meeting held on February 9, 2014 at Bangalore, India as a special invitee. More than thousand Rotarians listened to her inspiring talk with rapt attention, totally spellbound after her narration of her incredible adventures – rowing all by herself for seventy days in a boat crossing the Atlantic Ocean linking the two Americas, cycling across the vast country of USA, a 325- mile river swim and running across deserts. This is all for a noble cause for raising funds to make available drinking water to the have-not. In India, we call Gandhi as a Mahatma (great soul), we saw in Katie another young Mahatma. She deserves a Nobel Prize for Peace for her noble intention of generating funds to help those yearning for drinking water.

Katie presented one of the best programs I have seen in the ten years of my professional library experience. Our audience was captivated not only by her stories and tremendous accomplishments, but also by her commitment and humility. Katie was tremendously motivational and inspiring. It was an evening that won’t soon be forgotten at Mentor Public Library.

Katie was spectacular with our entire St. Anne’s-Belfield community. Throughout her visit Katie spoke with all students from kindergarten to our Seniors. She shared messages and stories that connected with all age levels. She finished her visit with a visit with members of the school community and visitors from throughout Charlottesville. We knew Katie would have an impact on everyone she touched, but the importance of what she has accomplished and why it is so important is still spoken about on our campus daily. We look forward to staying in touch and becoming a part of the impact she is having on clean water throughout the world.
