WORLD PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING EVENT:  Navigating the Polio Vaccine During Turbulent Times!

 

Spinelli's Function Facility, Route 1, South, Lynnfield, MA, 01940

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. 

 

The faculty members are carefully selected by the Institute for their teaching abilities. They are drawn from all areas of the Rotary Districts. Many are present and past R.I. Directors, present and past District Governors, successful past Presidents and those with experience in special areas. If your Club cares about its future, it will want the best leadership possible. This is an outstanding opportunity for each Club to improve the Rotary knowledge of its key people, who will also be exposed to new ideas of leadership. The exchange of ideas with other experienced Rotarians alone makes the courses worthwhile.

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is Rotary International’s leadership training program for young people.  Rotary District 7930 has a long-running annual program for high school students.

 

 

In November, Arlington Catholic High School Interact completed their annual Blessing Bags Event.  Arlington Rotary, Arlington K of C Council 109, and the Arlington Police Department assisted Interact in supporting the Salvation Army and local individuals and families in need. Interact was able to assemble 36 kids' bags for children at the Salvation Army's daycare center.  In addition, they filled over 200 bags with toiletries, warm gloves, hats, and socks, providing comfort to many in need during the cold winter months.

 

Rotarian Advisor Christy Kiernan and fellow teacher Rev. Dominic Ngo called for a special shoutout to high schooler Tess McQuillan for creating a helpful pamphlet of local resources to share with recipients, and to Theology teacher Ms. Przytula's classes for raising extra donations. The entire Interact Club worked together to get the packets out before the cold weather.

Has your club recently hosted an event or project or are you planning something in the near future that you would like to share with your fellow District 7930 Rotarians?
