RYLA 2011
|
It's RYLA time again. We are once again starting the planning process for RYLA 2011, the Rotary Youth Leadership Assembly. This year's event will take place on Catalina Island, Friday, April 15-Sunday, April, 17, 2011. We are pleased to let you know that we are able to keep the cost for each attendee at the remarkable low price of just $200 per person. We hope that this will encourage your club to send 1 to 2 additional students. This truly is a life-changing weekend for the students that attend and is well worth every penny spent. | |

Students will participate in a jam packed, three-day leadership seminar in one of the most pristine settings in Southern California. Through experiential learning exercises they will gain more understanding on topics such as teamwork, cooperation, creativity, compassion and communication. We also include the Rotary Avenues of Service and incorporate the Rotary 4-Way test into the program.
Rotarians and others work tirelessly for 9 months to provide your attendees with the most incredible leadership weekend of their young lives. Our District would be lost if we did not have such dedicated people on our RYLA committee. As such, we need your help. We need you to do your part by helping us meet our deadlines. We need to purchase supplies in advance of the event and make reservations based on the number of attendees committed. By committed, we mean PAID for.
This is why it is necessary for you to get your payment in ASAP (with deadline of December 20, 2010 to avoid $20 late fee) RYLA is a gift to youth and youth is a gift to Rotary. Every year, far too much time is spent chasing after Rotary clubs simply to receive commitment/payment. Please help us out by sending payment as soon as your club can cut a check. This will give us more time to dedicate to the overall program, again, making it just that much more meaningful to each attendee.
If you have any questions about RYLA or would like to join our committee, please feel free to contact us using the emails below. In the meantime, I sincerely thank you for doing your part to keep us on track for the best RYLA ever! You are welcome to send payment now, but we must have it by December 20, 2010. Send payment to the address below C/O RYLA. Visit the RYLA webpage for more information.
In the spirit of Service,
