Ryla student, Selena pulled ticket #081 and Maila Berry was the lucky winner who pulled a “card” that stated she had to pay $5 towards Foundation!  The card goes back into the pile….
 
President Leslie turned the floor to Lynn Sarao who introduced the 3rd RYLA student that joined us this morning. But before that she read a letter from Stephanie who was 4th student that couldn’t join us. We had a total of 4 students for RYLA this year, we had 2 speak a couple of weeks ago and this week we had Selena come. Both Stephanie and Selena shared their experiences as both of them said they would definitely do it again next year. It helped them get out of their comfort zone, were able to meet new people and enjoyed the physical and mental levels of games and things that they did over the weekend. She thanked us for sponsoring her!
