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 20th (Part 1) and Saturday , Feb 27th (Part 2) or Wednesday, March 10th (Part 1) and Wednesday, March 17th (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!

Virtual District Conference 2021
 
 

Transitioning to A Virtual District Conference 2021

 
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that along with the support of the organizing committee, I have made the decision to pivot from our original plans to have a districtwide in-person conference to a districtwide virtual conference. This one day event will be held on Saturday, April 17, 2021. Between the uncertainty of the timing of vaccinations and when the Medical Officer of Health will allow us to gather again, I feel that this is the most appropriate decision for our District. The safety and health of our Rotary family is my primary concern as we navigate these unchartered times.
 
Together we will Navigate a New World guided by inspiring speakers and interactive sessions that inspire and challenge us in doing the impactful work of Rotary. Please stay tuned as we continue to update the District Conference 2021 website in the upcoming weeks. There will be revisions to scheduling, pricing and content as well as information on what to expect the day of the virtual conference.
 
The silver lining is that now travel and accommodation expenses are no longer a barrier and this opportunity provides an even more inclusive event for more youth and more members of our Rotary family to attend.
 
Looking forward to seeing you online Saturday, April 17th!
 
Yours in Rotary Service - Mary Turner, District Governor, 20-21

Hello Sunrisers.  An update to my previous e-mail

Funds will be automatically deposited into our general account.  Please note that this only applies to funds sent for general club purposes, not specific projects such as Los Amigos.
 
Thanks and hopefully this is easier for all (including Carol and me).
