ROTARY & COMMUNITY HAPPENINGS - September & October 2026

DISTRICT 7090: ROTARY LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE

 PART 1 – Tuesdays, September 22, 29 & October 6, 2026 - 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

FEE: $20 ~ VENUE: ZOOM

The Rotary continuum starts at the club level and grows. There is 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 RLI sessions being offered via ZOOM in from September to December 2026. They are open to all Rotarians and Rotaractors in District 7090 and are an excellent opportunity to meet new Rotary friends and expand your Rotary experience.

RLI is made up of three parts (covering six topics per part) with topics ranging from My Leadership in Rotary, The Rotary Foundation, Attracting Members, to Effective Leadership Strategies… plus many more). A more detailed outline of the topics is attached to this e-mail.

To graduate from RLI you will need to attend all three parts and you MUST take them in sequential order (Part 1, then Part 2, then Part 3). While it is a commitment, it is well worth it. You will grow in Rotary and the fellowship is one of the best parts of all Rotary events.

You MUST register online for these sessions using the link in this invitation or at http://www.rotary7090.org.   Log in to the District Website click on District Events find the respective RLI session you wish to register for (open the event) and then click on “Member” or just follow the link at the bottom of this invitation.
