It’s time to bring this fantastic communications medium to Members’ notice. If you have not yet registered
for Meetup, please do so, sooner than later.
Managing communications and dissemination of information to and between RCE Members will be
significantly easier and more streamlined once all Rotarians, “Friends of Rotary”, partners and supporters
join our group

NEW Rotary Leadership Institute Program FOR DISTRICT
9800
FIRST METROPOLITAN COURSE starts Monday EVENING August 3rd, SOUTH
MELBOURNE
In response to repeated feedback over the past two years from Rotarians about having Rotary
training programs on weekend days, the District 9800 Rotary Leadership Institute has developed a
new evening program that focusses on much greater interaction and engagement to enhance the
learning experience for all participants.
This outstanding program provides Rotarians with an extensive “overview” of what Rotary is all
about, and is especially valuable for anyone who might be considering taking on a responsibility on
any club committee.
Our experience is that not only newer but more experienced Rotarians learn from this program.
RLI has been a successful way for clubs to encourage members to learn more about “how Rotary
works” and from the consistent feedback we receive, not only does it do that but the way the
program engages people in the learning experience gets participants involved in their own learning in
an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.
Then new program has been reduced in time so that the overall time commitment to attend the
sessions has been reduced by 33%.
The 2015 program starts in three weeks. It involves attending four Monday night sessions at the
Continuing Education Centre in Montague St, South Melbourne, with ample off-street parking.
The sessions kick off at 6pm for registration and then the learning starts at 6.30pm till 9.30 pm with a
dinner break included.
Details about the program content and a registration form have been forwarded to your Club
President.
RLI also provides a great vehicle for Clubs to use for “succession planning” to encourage their future
Club Leaders to attend and learn all about the mechanics of Rotary in a way that broadens their
knowledge, enables them to meet and interact with other Rotarians whilst at the same time giving
them ideas about how they can implement what they are and have learnt back in their clubs.
This program is highly regarded, facilitated by a very experienced and capable team and well worth
attending.
Will we see you there?
David Bennet
District RLI Chair

Wanted Youth Exchange Host Families
Rotary Youth Exchange is a study-abroad opportunity for young people between the ages of 16 and 17 years of age who spend a full year as an international student hosted by local Rotary clubs. Hosting an exchange student can be an incredibly rewarding experience for your family, providing an international experience without leaving home. Host families come in all shapes and sizes, you can help by: • Asking non-Rotarian families - that may be interested in hosting a Youth Exchange student. • Asking fellow club members - during a meeting at which partners are present or after another student has attended a meeting and has met many of the club’s members. • Asking Families of Youth Exchange alumni - to act as hosts. Many of these families would like to participate in the program because of the opportunity provided to their own children. • Asking club members - for the names of families in their communities they feel would make good host parents. • Asking families - who have successfully hosted students to recommend other families in the community who would be interested in hosting. To learn more about Youth Exchange hosting Contact Vanda Mullen Youth Exchange Committee chair [email protected] or visit Youth Exchange website
