We invite Rotary members to participate in a year-long Food Bank Donation Challenge. Each month, we'll post a suggested list of 5 items. These may include non-food, necessity items. Feel free to play along and purchase those items, or items of your choice, and deliver them to your local Food Bank. Or, you may want to check with your local food bank first to see what they are low on at the moment. Alternatively, you may prefer to provide them with a monetary donation or monthly pledge.
Invite your friends, family, colleagues, and social media connections to participate. We ask everyone to keep track of their donations and, at the end of each month, submit them to Kitt at kittbrand@gmail.com, so we can track the impact of our contributions.
Let's see what the power of Rotary can do for our food banks!
Hello! My name is Kira Eberts and I am the RYLE (Rotary Youth Leadership Experience) Chair for the 2023 camp and I am pleased to announce that camper applications are now open! This email includes important information about registration, sponsorship and a UPDATED FAQ for your convenience. FAQ & Sponsorship Info: Sponsorship Tips and FAQ.docx
RYLE is an opportunity for students to gain and strengthen leadership skills as well as network with like-minded students while also having fun! This year we will be returning to Camp Nakamun for an in-person 4 day RYLE camp May 4th - May 7th!
Rotary Clubs are invited to sponsor high school students; including members of Interact Clubs, to attend the camp. Applicants do not need to be involved with Rotary or Interact, as long as they are interested and willing to participate in the RYLE camp experience. We encourage every student to apply for this opportunity as we promote diversity and inclusion.
Please let us know how many students your club will be sponsoring for each program by April 13th 2022 so that we can ensure all sponsorships are filled. Clubs are responsible for contacting their Interact Clubs. The sponsorship fee per student is $475. Please email us to let us know how many spots to save for your club. Application links are attached below:
If you have any questions regarding RYLE, please contact us at ryle5370@gmail.com.
Please share this amazing opportunity with students who you believe may benefit from the experience. On behalf of the RYLE Committees, thank you for your continued support of our Camp, and we look forward to having your students join us!
