Another successful RYLA. We sponsored two participants this year Mariah Basran and Maninder Ghag. Many thanks to Duane Buchanan for organizing our participation in this years event. Both participants will be providing details of their weekend at RYLA at a meeting later in May.
However we have received thank you letters that I will post now...So you can see the benefits of this ROTARY Program.
MARIAH BASRAN
Hello Mr. Buchanan,
Words can not express how grateful and thankful I am for giving me the opportunity to attend Ryla and for sponsoring me. My experience was amazing at ryla and not only did I learn how to improve my leadership skills. I learned a lot about myself and how I can better myself before I help others. I was able to meet many amazing individuals with goals and dreams just like myself. It was so inspiring to see so many young, driven, and passionate individuals. I am currently attending school and wanting to join the police force after I am done school. I want to make a difference and help people in my community and around the world. It was so relieving knowing that there are still good people out there in the world wanting to make a difference like myself. At the Ryla event they also did a presentation on the Rotary club and I was able to learn more about it, which I am also very interested in joining ! Once again I would like to thank you so, so, so much for giving me this opportunity to experience this very special event.
Sincerely,
Mariah Basran

MANINDER GHAG
Hi Duane,
Thank you so much for sponsoring me for RYLA, I had such an amazing time there. It was honestly a life changing experience, it taught me a lot about myself but also changed my outlook on how I view others.
This experience has enabled me to take initiative with Surrey Crime Prevention Society. A few members of Surrey Crime Prevention and I will be presenting some ideas to start a new program, which will be reaching out to kids from Grade 6 to 9. We will be going into classrooms in both high schools and elementary schools and doing presentations to help students understand some tough problems they may be facing and offer guidance and support.
RYLA has given me some great tools that I can carry on, and put into effect in my life. Without the skills I have acquired at RYLA I would not have been able to put forth my ideas to start a new program and make a change. I cannot thank you enough for providing me such an amazing experience; I will be cherishing all the memories I made there for a lifetime. Thank you so much for sponsoring me. Regards, Maninder Ghag
