First Boone NC RLI- a Great Day of Rotary!   

October 3, 2009 (Boone, NC). District 7670 hosted a very successful Institute on October 3, 2009 in Boone NC. Caldwell Community College- Watauga Campus - provided a spectacular backdrop for the event, and an excellent venue for sharing Rotary and learning valuable leadership skills. William Parker served as Facilities Coordinator for the event according to District 7670 RLI Chair David Sink, who served as Program Chair. 

Parts I & II of the Institute were offered. Part I participants included Rotarians Ryan Councill, Joyce Fox, Stephanie Madanski, Ron McKinney, Maureen Mulhall, Melissa Pennscott and Sandra Vizner. Part 

II Participants included Jennifer Dirkes, Bob Kinkaid, Nora Linderbeck, Stephen Padgett, Chuck Moseley, and Wade (Hamp) Shuford, who are all on track to obtain graduate recognition after one more section of the Institute.  

The All-Star Faculty included: District 7670 DGN Bill Parker, former District 7720 RLI Chair Karl McKinnon, PDG Mark Markanda from Charlotte, District 7680, and District 7670 Immediate PDG David Sink. 

According to DGN Bill Parker "The Rotarians were eager, interested, engaged, and participated fully in all of the sessions.  At times it was difficult to end the sessions and stay on schedule".

When we get Rotarians excited about Rotary- and can't get them to stop sharing their experiences and exchanges of ideas at the end of sessions- that's a successful Rotary Leadership Institute!
