First RLI Graduate Class Held in New Zealand

Today Sun 24th Mar I attended the first RLI Graduate class held in NZ. There were 7 of us, each of us having completed the earlier 3 days of RLI.

As always RLI is very inspiring with both Ingrid Waugh & Beryl Robinson our wonderful facilitators for the day.

It was amazing learning different skills in how to make our own Rotary Clubs get a ranking of 10 out of 10 and become an EXTRAORDINARY Club, not just an ordinary club.  We ranked our own clubs an average 8 out of 10, which is really quite impressive, but we all wanted to do something new and exciting to lead our clubs into the future, and we have agreed to make sure we,

1. Make our clubs a vibrant community service organization.
2. Make sure we making an impact in our local communities
3. Are we following our motto ‘Service Above Self’
4. Make sure we grow and expand our membership of our Clubs.


VISION WITHOUT ACTION IS MERELY A DREAM
ACTION WITHOUT VISION JUST PASSES THE TIME
VISION WITH ACTION CAN CHANGE THE WORLD.     Joel Barker

To all Rotary Club members – if you get the chance do go on the 3 day RLI Course,  now a 4 day RLI course – you will never regret it.

The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a series of fast-paced, interactive, one-day courses



designed to provide Rotarians with a breadth of Rotary knowledge that they can put into practical every-day use in their clubs. Courses are fun, topical and geared to ensure participants gain an understanding of how the programmes and resources of Rotary at all levels interconnect and can be accessed, while at the same time encouraging participants to contribute their own life and Rotary experiences through discussion and practical exercises to reinforce the knowledge gained.   More at www.rli.rotarysouthpacific.org
