This year's Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) attendees shared their four day camp experience at a recent Rotary meeting. They all expressed heartfelt thanks for the opportunity to learn and grow at RYLA in April. A majority of our club's annual charitable giving is directed to youth activities and this year we invested $2,500 to send deserving students to the camp. Leadership training has a wonderful payoff in developing talent to lead our local Interact Clubs at THS and Valley Oaks HS and it promotes good citizenship and community service in the youngsters.
