GIRLS AND BOYS RYLA

It seemed like yesterday that I was a camper at RYLA.  Vsiting both the Girls and Boys RYLA this week brought back so many wonderful memories.  Girls RYLA had 105 campers!  Wow, were they pumped up and ready to go!!  The Boys RYLA had over 70 attendees and they are looking forward to an awesome experience.  Michele and I were so impressed with all the youngsters!  This truly validates my belief in the new 5th Avenue of Service.  These youngsters are truly the future of Rotary!  A very special "thank you" to all the Rotary volunteers who gave of their time and talents during RYLA.  You are making a huge difference in young people's lives.
