Rotary Leadership Institute will convene again on Saturday, March 21, 2015 at the Niagara County Community College, Sanborn, New York; registration opens at 7:30 AM and you will be on your way home at 4:00 PM. Yes, it is an all-day learning event. However, it is well worth it, especially if you bring some fellow club members or carpool with others.

This is one of those personal projects that every Rotarian should put on their to-do list. Rotary is a multi-facet organization and it difficult to learn all about Rotary just through club activities and on-line research. President-elects are encouraged to attend - talk it up at your club and bring your leadership team to help ensure a great year as Club President. Clubs are encouraged to pay the registration fee.
 
 
See what RLIers had to say about our Hamilton event in December. “…thanks for a great learning and networking experience! Looking forward to the next session.” Frank Adamson, Fonthill. 
 
And from Judy Naylor, from our e-club the Southern Ontario Western New York (SOWNY) Club, “I really enjoyed RLI and definitely recommend the experience!!...I had a wonderful time at each level, but especially at the last one at Mohawk College!  I'm very enthusiastic about it.”
 
At the December 6th event at Mohawk College in Hamilton we graduated 9 Rotarians. The graduation picture appeared in last month’s District Newsletter. I was so concerned about getting our 8 male graduates listed appropriately I missed our only lady, Judy Naylor, of the SOWNY Club. Hence the picture is being republished.
