Claire — She talked on the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA). She talked about an awesome week of team building activities. She said the other people with her were also an extraordinary group of people. She didn’t want to elaborate on the activities as she was advised to maintain the “Mystery” of the event but certainly wanted to reinforce the fact that RYLA was an incredible week and that she has transformed from a very quiet person to a confident person.
She confided with us that had she known what was involved she would not have gone but having gone she would do it again. She loved it.
President Peter — He thanked all the presenters noting the wonderful programs we have in Rotary.
