This will be the 12th year Rotary District 7410 will host this impactful leadership program for our area youth.
 
RYLA 2024 will be held Sunday June 23 through Thursday June 27, 024 at Keystone College in LaPlume, Pennsylvania.  For budgeting purposes, the cost per student remains at $375, which is an incredible value for all this 5-day/4-night program offers.  RYLA is a leadership training program for area young people, full of activities that engage students physically, mentally, and emotionally to strengthen their relationship skills, build their self-confidence, and give them the tools to be leaders.
 
Again this year the application is available on-line.  Applications are open and the link can be found on the website: bit.ly/RYLAD74102024App
 
Click on the "What We Do" tab on the District 7410 Homepage to find the application and two RYLA information documents (also attached in this message) for RYLA 2024.  Applications are open to high school sophomores going into their junior year.
 
 
 
District RYLA 2024 committee members continue to work to running this years RYLA conference of young adults.  This year David Palmer of the New Milford Area Rotary Club is serving as Chair, with Mary Tempest of the Tunkhannock Rotary Club serving as Co-Chair. 
 
PDG Mary Ellen Bentler is serving on the RYLA 2024 Committee along with Amy Leiser of the Rotary Club of the Stroudsburgs.  Maureen Beilman of the Honesdale Rotary Club and PDG Karen DeMatteo serve as the RYLA 2024 Registrar Committee. 
 
Rotarians are always welcomed to volunteer to assist at this premier Rotary event and as a critical part of insuring continuity in leadership roles to execute future RYLAs.  If you are interested in doing so, reach out to me through e-mail or a phone call.
 
I have personally witnessed the testimony by RYLA alumni, and participated in on-site leadership rolls now for two RYLAs.  RYLA is a life changing event for these youth.
 
Thank you for supporting RYLA and encouraging our youth to be the best citizen they can be!
 
Yours In Rotary,
