THIS WEEK: EVERYDAY LEADERSHIP

Join us on Monday 8/14/2023 at Noon as we welcome Steve Townsley as the guest speaker.  Steve will be sharing the impact of the Everyday Leadership Project, one of the programs that you may have heard about at District Conference 2023. The program serves students in 5th and 6th grades, primarily in Title 1 schools, by providing life skills, confidence, community service experience and leadership skills to succeed in Middle School, Junior High and beyond! Please attend on Monday to learn more about this inspirational program.

'Open World' Comes to Meridian, ID
October 6-14, 2023
Rotary clubs in the US have a unique international and vocational service opportunity through Open World where clubs host small delegations of current and future leaders from around the world.  October 6-14, 2023, a judicial delegation from Indonesian will be in Ada County, hosted by clubs across District 5400.  This will be a terrific opportunity to volunteer to host a dinner, a vocational day, or a home stay.  It's FUN!
