PROGRAM
RYLA student: Olivia Conoshenti spoke today about her experiences and how worthwhile the program was. She thanked the club for our support and will spread the word about Rotary and RYLA. Olivia was enthusiastic about attending RYLA and even more so after attending. Both she and her mother noted more confidence and approaching new situations, ie., public speaking, introducing themselves to new persons and making new friends easily. Art G asked to see if inroads could be made towards and interact club at the Township HS. As Olivia is a Junior she was asked to seek out our other attendees and assist in the effort to introduce Rotary Interact to the school, our opportunity is the best in years.
