Rotary Leadership Institute
Does your club want to improve its retention rate? Rotary International recommends sending all new members to RLI. The next relatively close session will be held in Marlborough, MA on January 26^th at the Courtyard by Marriott. All three parts will be offered. The Graduate Course this year is Motivating Volunteers in the morning and Membership Issues in the afternoon.

 

Remember – you don’t need to wait 3 years to graduate and graduates can take the graduate course more than once as they change every year. A full schedule is on the District website www.Rotary7950.com. Register at www.rlinea.org under upcoming events. 

 

Lastly CONGRATULATIONS SOX!!! All our sports teams are playing so there is no shortage of events to watch!! Enjoy!!

 

And best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving with family.
