In one section of the ballroom, breakout sessions will include the presentation of a service project, where Rotarians have purchased library books for the new library at Ebussamba Primary School in Kenya, and a presentation by Camp Rotary in Boxford, illustrating the great things they do and explaining how your Rotary Club can help.

At the same time, an interactive youth expo will take place, showcasing the young people of District 7930. RYLA leaders will have three separate stations where they will teach leadership through activities designed for all ages. Youth exchange inbound students will be doing interactive activities where Rotarians and their families can experience the student's home cultures. Interact clubs will be asking attendees to be a part of their service projects by donating their expertise, time and efforts to help the cause. Rotaract students are planning a special activity that will involve attending Rotarians and their families in one of their projects.

You will be able to see what we do for young people throughout the world, help our young people with the good work they do here and abroad, learn about other cultures, become a better leader, meet and interact with our vibrant, talented young people; all the while having a GREAT time!
