Our sincere thanks to Vic Maris from the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake for inspiring this challenge – your leadership and commitment to the eradication of polio

is sincerely appreciated.Congratultaions to the Rotary Club of Sylvan Lake who raised over $10,000 USD during the challenge. Fourteen Clubs participated in the Cycling Challenge (with additional cycling contributions from Lethbridge Mosaic and U of Calgary Rotoract Club)

To the best of my knowledge I am thrilled to report:

DGE – Martin Parnell shared the following fun fact. The distance around the Earth at the Equator, its circumference is $40,075 kilometres – so our District cycled AROUND THE WORLD to eradicate Polio

The total District Polio Contributions from July 1/20 to Oct 30/20 are $60,700 CAD

My sincere thanks to the Club Cycle Champions for your commitment to the challenge, to all those who participated to our collective kilometres and to all our generous sponsors for your financial support

WE DID IT & WE’LL BE BACK NEXT YEAR

Club Leadership Team Training Workshops 15 Nov 2020

District 5360 Rotarians, Rotaractors and Interactors

I am very excited to share with you our plans for the Club Leadership Team Training Workshops to be held in February and March 2021.

Below is everything you need to know about this learning opportunity, but were afraid to ask:

Who should attend?

Our District’s Rotary Family: Rotarian, Rotaractor and Interactor Leaders. District leaders recognise it takes more than a president to lead a club, it takes a team, thus it has been decided to open up the training to all leaders and potential leaders in your club. We are hoping that at least 4-6 members of your club will attend. There is no additional charge for this training.

Why are we doing this??

Because we believe "Ordinary people working together can achieve extraordinary results – Stronger together!

What will you learn?

The topics will include:
Part 1: “Leading Your Club” (Martin Parnell DGE), “Planning for Success” (Karen Blewett), “Setting Your Club Goals” (Linda Morris) and “The Value of Community Assessments” (Hyder Hassan).
Part 2: “District Achievements” (Mary Turner DG), “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in your Club” (Sadia Khan and Steve Leavitt DGN), and “AG Roles and Responsibilities” (AG’s).
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 13^th (Part 1) and Wednesday, March 20^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!

If you have any questions please contact either Rick Istead (rwistead@telus.net) or myself (info@martinparnell.com )

Yours in Rotary,
