This is open to all members.  

Engage and empower members . . . Energize and strengthen your Rotary Club . . . Provide Leadership Development for Members . . .  Learn about Rotary and have fun!   That is the Rotary Leadership Institute experience!   Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a facilitated program with active participation - not lecturing. Topics important to Rotary and Rotary Clubs such as Effective Service Projects, Membership Engagement, and understanding The Rotary Foundation are explored. You will discuss real challenges and exchange ideas.   Sign up yourself - you will be a more effective leader for your Rotary Club.   Nominate members and they will naturally become more engaged because they will have a richer Rotary experience.   RLI is for everyone - Leadership is not a position, it is action.   There are two upcoming opportunities to participate in RLI.   You must participate in the full day to get credit.   Part I ONLY We have been invited to join Rotary District 5520 (New Mexico and a few clubs in Texas). They have scheduled a Part 1 RLI session by Zoom as follows: Saturday, October 16, 2021 by Zoom 8:15 AM - 2:30 PM Central Time There are 2 breaks during the day There is no cost - they will send materials by email Space is limited - please let me know ASAP if you have members wanting to participate (I will gather names - first come first served - and then provide registration details)   PARTS I, II and III offered - pending registrations There will be a live session with our partner District in Iowa - District 6000 Saturday, October 30, 2021 Live First United Methodist Church 309 North Main St Mount Pleasant, Iowa   52641 (Southeast Iowa) 8:30 AM - 3:30 PM Central Time Lunch and breaks provided Cost $85 Register at https://www.rli-heartland.org/   Nicolette Klein,  Chair - Rotary Leadership Institute - Heartland USA Division nicki@rli-heartland.org

Mark your calendar for Friday, October 8th and plan to invite someone to our meeting that day.  Our speaker will be Mike Kemp who is the Interim Athletic Director for UNO and will feature a fun meeting.   Who do you know that would enjoy service, social, and networking opportunities?

 

 

 Any objection to this proposal must be in writing to the Board of Directors at boardofdirectors@omahawestrotary.org within one week. 

 

Attention Red Badge Members: Little Libraries Community Service: Oct. 2021

 

Omaha West Rotary maintains several Little Libraries in the Skinner Magnet Elementary Neighborhood, 4300 north 33 St.

These libraries need restocking in October.

The plan is to restock them on a Sat morning, date to be determined (not Oct. 2)

We will pick up books from Bonnie Gill’s garage on 88th and Harney and distribute them to the Little Libraries. I hope that we can work in pairs.

 

If interested, please contact Kathy Wawers at kwawers@gmail.com.

Let me know which Sat in Oct works best for you

The Zoom link remains the same each week.  Please plan to join us this Friday at noon for our regular meeting.  Please make sure your name is on your Zoom profile so you get attendance credit.
