Below is an overview of who should attend, what you will learn in Part 1, and when and where it will take place.

Who should attend?

Our District’s Rotary Family: Rotarian, Rotaractor and Interactor Leaders.

We are hoping that at least 4-6 members of your club will attend. There is no additional charge for this training.

What will you learn in Part 1?

The topics will include:

“Leading Your Club” (Martin Parnell DGE): How your club works with the District and Rotary International, what makes a Vibrant Club and where to get help during your year.

“Planning for Success” (Karen Blewett): Why a Strategic Plan is important and key steps to help your club establish one.

“Setting Your Club Goals” (Linda Morris): Why setting goals makes your club more vibrant and a step-by-step approach to Goal Setting.

“The Value of Community Assessments” (Hyder Hassan): How to help your club identify the top needs in your community using a “Community Assessment Toolbox”.

Each session will be led by AG’s from across the District.

When will it take place?

Saturday, February 20^th (Part 1) and Saturday, Feb 27^th (Part 2) or Wednesday, March 10^th (Part 1) and Wednesday, March 17^th (Part 2)
- Each interactive Zoom session will last from 3 - 3 1/2 hours

Where will this take place?

This training will be online. Go to www.rotary5360.ca , EVENTS-CLUB AND DISTRICT CALENDAR. Then select dates (Part 1 and 2) on the day/time you wish to attend and register….It’s that easy!

Planning is well underway for the 24th annual Rotary Alberta Youth Entrepreneurship Camp.
RAYEC 2021 will be held August 8 to 14 at Eagles Nest Ranch. RAYEC is a business camp for youth aged 13-15.

The camp would not be possible without the financial support of the clubs of Rotary District 5360. Sponsoring a camper/youth leader for the week is $1000.00.
