Yes, some of these graduates and facilitators -– in fact, if you look closely, ALL –are jokesters, too.  The picture shows the uninhibited relief these graduates and facilitators displayed after finishing the third of three sessions of the leadership institute, a facilitated discussion of key concepts in Rotary from The Rotary Foundation to serving as a leader.

Note that Jennifer Deroin and Shannon Morgan are holding their certificates.

The third  RLI session will be held in Twin Falls on Jan.12.  RLI will begin for the eastern portion of our district on Jan. 12 at Idaho State University.  Watch for additional information coming your way.

Wrote Kevin Allen about RLI:  “I felt the information was quite relevant for Rotarians hoping to be more active in their clubs.  I also learned a great deal about how other clubs function and how they differ from my club.  All in all, it was a great experience.  Thank you and the other facilitators for your effort.”
