March Rotary Newsletter (Oct 04, 2021)

Sherry Sime

Dear Friends,

Another grand slam month ended with Rotary Roses! Our success was a team effort and we definitely have a great team.

While I was pondering what to write for the October newsletter, I was thinking about our Interact Club t-shirts. Why? On the back of their shirts is a quote by Mother Theresa. “I alone cannot change the world but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.” The potential for touching numerous lives is truly mind boggling. Without thinking too hard, I can name several ways that just happened within the past month just looking at my own calendar and I’m sure you can too. The point being, we are members of Rotary, but also a member of this world and this community. They all need us to be a positive ripple and I strongly feel we are on that path….even by selling roses.

Who wouldn’t want to be a Rotarian?!?!

With Peace and Gratitude,

Sherry

Thank you to Mary for programs and Dianne for Invocations during September!

RYLA is going virtual! As much as we wish we could see you all at Camp Upham Woods this year, we're playing it safe as we make it through the pandemic.

Participants will attend sessions virtually over two days in May, 2021:

May 16th, 2:00-5:00pm
May 17th, 6:00-8:00pm

How to get your students registered for RYLA

Fill out the “Club Registration Form” to tell us how many students you’re sending. (more details are in the attached Rotary Tool Kit for Student Selection document)
Have all students along with their parents/guardians fill out the “Student Registration Form” (this link is only to be given to students that your club sponsors to go to RYLA, more details are given in the attached RYLA Registration Process document)
After the forms are completed (both the Club form as well as the Student form for each student you sponsor), the District 6250 office will send an invoice for payment
The registration deadline is April 15, 2021.

What Is RYLA?

The Rotary District 6250 RYLA program is a camp designed to build future leaders and Rotarians who exemplify the four way test.

Is it the Truth?
Is it fair to all concerned?
Will it build good will and better friendships?
Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Where is it?

In 2021 RYLA will be held virtually via Zoom - Details will be sent to RYLA students and staff after registration.
RYLA typically is held at Camp Upham Woods, Wisconsin Dells, WI

When is it?

The 2021 Rotary District 6250 RYLA Program is scheduled for May 16-17, 2021.

Who can attend?

Each year Rotary Clubs can sponsor students from local high schools to attend (it is strongly suggested sophomores be chosen, however this is not a requirement)
Adult Rotarians are always welcome and needed to help facilitate the Conference (and to come have fun!)

What is the cost?

The cost to attend the camp is:

$50 per student
