January 2018Rotary: Making a DifferenceRotary Youth Leadership Awards 2018(April 6-8, 2018)Cathy Jo Littleton Wahl, District RYLA Chair, Rotary Club of JacksonvilleSpring is coming soon, and so is the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) weekend at beautiful LakeWilliamson in Carlinville, IL - April 6, 7 and 8, 2018.RYLA is Rotary's premier training program for high school students, emphasizing leadership, citizenship andpersonal growth. These skills are reinforced with games, competitions and team-building activities to make this anenjoyable, educational and enriching weekend for participants.WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The weekend begins on Friday, April 6th at 5 PM and ends promptly on Sunday,April 8th at 1 PM. RYLA is open to High School Sophomores or Juniors who have not attended RYLA in the past. District 6460’s goal is to have two or more students from each high school (not including Youth ExchangeInbound students) in District 6460 attend the RYLA weekend. We need YOUR CLUB to sponsor futureleaders from your area high school(s) to attend this event! The Bradley Rotaract Club has been working on programming for several months and will provide a varietyof plenary and breakout sessions designed to promote and enhance leadership skills, citizenship, and personalgrowth. District 6460 Rotarian (trained/experienced) volunteers will be in attendance throughout the weekend. Youth Exchange Inbound Students will be sponsored by the Youth Exchange and RYLA Committees. (nocharge to the clubs for these students) Cost for the weekend is 225 per student IF all forms and checks are postmarked/received before March 2,2018. Registrations received after March 2, 2018 will be 250/student. The registration cutoff date will be 5:00 pm, March 23, 2018. Requests for refunds will be addressed on an individual basis after the event. Refunds will only beconsidered for those issues outside the control of the student.An application form, club instruction sheet, and promotional piece are enclosed for your convenience or you canaccess these forms on the District website at e/ryla-2/Students will benefit greatly from this program. It is not essential that the high school has an Interact club. In fact,sending a student to RYLA is a great first step to getting an Interact club started at your high school! Clubs havealso had success in recruiting students for Youth Exchange once they have attended RYLA and interacted with theInbound students in attendance. RYLA alums have reported that they look for college opportunities that includeRotaract Clubs after attending RYLA. Rotaract members have been known to join their local Rotary Clubs aftercollege. So many doors are opened and experiences provided through interaction with other students at RYLA!Remember: early registration applications must be postmarked by Friday, March 2, 2018 and MUST includethe early registration fee of 225 per student. Late Registration fee is 250.For further information on the RYLA weekend, please contact:District 6460 2018 RYLA Chair: Cathy Jo Littleton-Wahl at 217-883-1155 or wahlcathy@gmail.comFor registration questions, contact:RYLA 2018 Registrar: Jean Jumper at 217-370-7067 or jumper99@mchsi.comROTARY DISTRICT 64604-WAY TODAY - PAGE 15
