Rotary Club of Knoxville offered three Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) to Riley Fisk, Samantha (Sami) Thompson, and Nolan Crossett. They attend the RYLA conference in July 13-18,2014 along with 172 other high school award recipients from Districts 6000 and 5970. There were 44 supporting counselors and Rotarians including T. Waldmann-Williams. The three recipients shared their learnings with Rotarians on July 24. The picture from left to right is Nolan Crossett, Gary Anderson, T.
