RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) is an intense 3-day, 2 night leadership training high school students who have shown a potential for rendering important service to their schools and communities. More than 150 high school students attended RYLA last year. Participants are nominated by local Rotary clubs and for these high school students, this recognition offers the opportunity to build self-confidence, gain exposure to a variety of issues and people, meet active community leaders, and learn valuable information and career skills. We need to raise $300 to send one high school student to this leadership training coming up in February.  For more information or to donate online, please visit pbrotary.org/Page/ryla-interact.  If you wish to donate by check or contact us please click here.  Thank you for your support.

Dear Rotarians,

Sign up for RYLA 2014 opens today! This is a signature District 7620 program that benefits over 120 students every year. It is open to any 11th or 12th grade high school student that is in good standing with their school and has demonstrated leadership potential but may not have been exposed to leadership courses or opportunities. The program is open to not just students in your Interact clubs but sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and neighbors.

The attached information package gives you a brief explanation of what RYLA is about and includes the club sponsorship form and directions on submitting delegate forms electronically through the RYLA website at www.ryla7620.com.

Please support RYLA and recommend a student for sponsorship to your club leadership. Get on board and be part of a program that promotes the values and ideals of Rotary and leadership to the youth. These are our future Rotarians!

Yours in Rotary

Judy Cappuccilli

Rotary District 7620 RYLA Chairperson
