@ Weston’s
American

The Rotary Leadership Institute was
created to serve Rotarians who are possibly two or three years away
from taking a leadership position in their club; not necessarily that of the president
but perhaps in an officer or director slot or as a committee chair.

DID
YOU MISS A MEETING ‘CAUSE YOU WERE AWAY?
Our
club goal is 100% Attendance!
If
you miss a meeting, it can be made-up within 2 weeks, before or after, of the
missed meeting date.
For online make-ups:
http://www.rotary.org/newsroom/downloadcenter/pdfs/eclub_list.pdf
Visit www.rotary6990.org to find a club to make up an absence. Attendance credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity offers an alternative to making up a meeting at another club. To earn this credit, Rotarians log on to the site, read up on a range of subjects, post comments, & submit a form to the club secretary.
For make-ups anywhere around the world when traveling internationally: http://rotary.org/support/clubs/index.html
