The RYLA Team is loading up and preparing for their departure on Thursday for RYLA 2016!
On January 13, the RYLA team and students will be officially welcomed home from their weekend experience and the club will get to hear about it. This is always a great program with a number of guests invited to attend, including the students and parents.
If you can spare a lunch ticket or two in order for us to graciously accommodate these guests, please donate at the January 6 meeting or send to the office at your convenience.
Do you know of a young lady entering the Neches River Festival as a princess?
If your daughter or granddaughter is a student at a Beaumont school, graduating in May, and planning to take part in the annual NRF festivities, perhaps she could be sponsored by the Rotary Club of Beaumont!
Please submit her name by calling the Rotary Office at 842-1913 before January 22.
