Last week re-cap

Last week Bob Bosco gave the invocation. Jeff Bakewell and Jared Bakewell served as greeters. We had several announcements and presentations. The RISK bag was at $185 and Suzi Brehmer won a free lunch. There were many shenanigans and fines handed out. Over $900 was raised for our local Foundation during all the fun. Bob Mundy introduced us to Stephanie Huettner who gave us an update on all of the renovations at the zoo.

Rotary Foundation Recognition

Diaper Drive!

Join us for the first two weeks in March for our Diaper Drive for the Life House. Last week we were just getting started with some lucky Rotarians and their "nuk nuks". Losers (or winners) of the diaper drive will be flaunting some special attire in a couple of weeks. Bring your diapers and help babies (and embarassing Rotarians!) win.

Rotary Leadership Institute

Engage and empower members . . .

Energize and strengthen your Rotary Club . . .

Provide Leadership Development for Members . . .

Learn about Rotary and have fun!

That is the Rotary Leadership Institute experience!

Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a facilitated program with active participation - not lecturing. Topics important to Rotary and Rotary Clubs such as Effective Service Projects, Membership Engagement, and understanding The Rotary Foundation are explored. You will discuss real challenges and exchange ideas.

Nominate members and they will naturally become more engaged because they will have a richer Rotary experience.

RLI is for everyone - Leadership is not a position, it is action.
