RYLA and Service Above Self Award recipient Zac Alberty
with Tom Eble, President of the West Shore Rotary.
 
 
Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) was June 7th to June 11th.  We sponsored two juniors to the leadership camp.  Tori Russo and Zac Alberty.  Zac joined us at the July 21st meeting, Tori could not join us but thanked us for giving her the opportunity to attend.  Zac talked about his experience at RYLA and said it was well worth it.  He enjoyed it and learned leadership skills that he will use the rest of his life.  It definitely is something that we should keep doing and thanked us for choosing him to be part of it.
 
Zac was also awarded the Service Above Self Award (see picture on left) from our club for clocking over 1000 volunteer hours at Youth Challenge.  Youth Challenge is an organization that brings together children with physical disabilities and youth volunteers who enrich each others lives through one-on-one adapted sports
