Nutley Rotary Dictionary project: Member Walt Smith has ordered the dictionaries that we were unable to give to third graders last Fall due to Covid. We will deliver these in April to 7 schools so that our third graders don't miss out. If you can help, please email Walt at waltbeau@aol.com.

ROTARY LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE
When I joined Rotary in 2015, I wondered what is
Rotary Leadership Institute?
I signed up and discovered it is the best way to learn more about Rotary! I've been attending every year since.
It is a series of fast-paced, interactive courses offered to refine a Rotarian's leadership skills. Courses are fun, topical, interactive, and geared toward busy business and professional people who want to be more effective leaders in Rotary and in their professional careers. Courses are offered at basic, intermediate, advanced and graduate levels.
The overriding goal of the courses is to create ENTHUSIASM for Rotary. A better understanding of Rotary shows the great potential of Rotary service to benefit our local as well as global communities.
This is something our club should participate in annually to enhance our effectiveness and grow our club. Statistic show that clubs whose members participate in Rotary Leadership Institute are stronger and more vibrant that those who don’t. Help make our club the best it can be.
At Rotary, we have no tolerance for racism. Promoting respect, celebrating diversity, demanding ethical leadership, and working tirelessly to advance peace are central tenets of our work.
We have more work to do to create more just, open and welcoming communities for all people.
We know there are no easy fixes and that challenging conversations and work lie before all of us. Rotary’s strength has long been our ability and commitment to bringing people together. We will tap into that strength now as we stand with those who are working for peace and justice.
Rotary will do our part to listen, learn and take action to ensure that we continue to contribute to making positive change.
