Guests today were Speakers from Rotaractors speaking on behalf of RYL, Hector and Brayden, who spoke of how RYLA has helped them be better versions of themselves, helping others and want to continue with this for their journey's.  
They explained what the 4 days entails though the steps to help others understand their potential. They also help at Ribfest.
 
Interactors, Devon, Nathanial and Anaya spoke of what the interactors do (12-18) and how they contribute through their learnings from Yale and being around each other and us!  Many of them met at Yale.  They also help at RIBFEST.
 
Some of their accomplishments are Random acts of kindness at the skytrain station, Garden project at Eagle Ridge Hospital, Shoreline Cleanup, Christmas Breakfast, Thanksgiving Breakfast and Rotary Rips.  Also a donation of $500 to the Guatamala project!   Amazing people!!!  They would love to see some Rotarians attend their meetings at the Coquitlam Library on Wednesdays in the boardroom, they usually meet around 4pm.
Please ask Linda for posters if you can put some up around town, or towns you attend...your partners work or kids schools etc.
