ANNOUNCEMENTS

Ted Mann a dedicated Rotarian of 60 years with the Rotary Club of Bowmanville has passed away this week.

RLI Event coming up - We all know the heart of Rotary starts at the club level. But there is also a much larger Rotary world that is just waiting for you to embrace once you understand what it is all about. Come and join us at the upcoming Rotary Leadership Institute session. It is open to all Rotarians in District 7070 as well as other districts. It is an excellent opportunity to meet new Rotary friends and expand your Rotary experience.

RLI - Saturday, February 24, 2018

Centennial College Event Centre

Scarborough, Ontario

I know of more than a few joint Club projects, fundraising partnerships and new initiatives that have come about at RLI, just from the exchange of ideas and conversation. Not only will you broaden your own personal Rotary knowledge, gain leadership insight - but also bring back valuable tips from today's changing Rotary world back to your Club.

You can register online for this event at http://www.rotary7070.org. Scroll down the left-hand menu under Upcoming Events.

The cost for each part is $70.00 per attendee which includes a light continental breakfast, lunch, and coffee/refreshment breaks. New Rotarians (members of one year or less) can attend RLI free by using promo code “RLI1Free”. (And yes - we'll be auditing!). And our club will reimburse you if you wish to attend.

If you have questions, contact Susan Hunter, D7070 RLI Chair, at susan.hunter@rotarytoronto.com or at 416.822.8409
