Last Call for February RLI

Posted by Peter Majane on Feb 13, 2026

RLI is a powerful tool to grow member strengths and build member retention. Attendees learn:

How to lead
Where the money goes
What to do to create effective committees
How to work with volunteers and come back motivated, energized and inspired.
They share that enthusiasm with other members.

So, how many people are you sending? The cost is $25.00 and registration is now open at this link.

The mission of The Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) North East America is to provide an educational opportunity for Rotarians as potential leaders. Each club President is asked annually to encourage Club members as potential Club leaders in the years ahead. Courses foster Rotary knowledge and leadership skills. It is hoped that these courses will also motivate the participants to be enthusiastic, creative and dedicated Rotarians. Our District's next RLI is being offered virtually on February 24 & 26, 2026. Register now! It is open to all Rotary members. Registration closes Tuesday, February 17.

RYLA Applications Are Now Live

Posted by Christina Harris on Feb 13, 2026

Applications for this year's RYLA are officially live and can be found here! Visit the D7930 RYLA page for information and the RYLA Linktree.

RYLA 2026 will be May 15th-17th at Camp Rotary in Boxford, MA. We are so excited to connect with this year's rising leaders and have a committed group of returning students to help lead the weekend.

As you begin to think about who you can invite to apply for this life-changing experience, remember that the impact of RYLA extends far beyond the weekend itself. It's an opportunity for young leaders to grow, connect, and inspire one another, and we can't wait to see who will join us this year!

We have volunteers eager to speak about RYLA at your Rotary and Interact Clubs. It's a great way to spread the word and encourage more students to take advantage of this opportunity. Please feel free to reach out to Christina at Christina@PartnerWithChoice.com or call 978.270.6706 to arrange a presentation.

Thank you for your ongoing support in the future of these young leaders. Together, we are making a difference!

Marblehead Harbor Supports End Polio Now

Posted by Linda Doliber on Feb 13, 2026

Inspired by the hopeful words of primary speaker and End Polio Now leader Mike McGovern at the World Peace and Understanding Dinner on February 12, Marblehead Harbor Rotarians Francie King and Lesley Tracy were among the newest members to join the Polio Plus Society. Pledging at least $100 per year to Rotary’s efforts to end polio, Francie and Lesley will bring their enthusiasm and the latest statistics on polio eradication back to their club members to encourage and further motivate the club’s support of Rotary’s efforts to permanently eradicate polio from the two remaining countries where it is endemic. Congratulations, Francie and Lesley!
