RYLA OLA
August 3, 2021 will be our first hybrid meeting!  Members and guests are welcome to join us at The First Church, 25 Great Road, Bedford, or join us virtually using Zoom.  Bring your own refreshments- lunch, snack, coffee, water, etc.  Let's be good guests and leave no trace or trash behind.  Please plan to carry out what you carry in.
 
RYLA 2021 (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards), held June 25-27, 2021 was different - and yet, in many ways it was also the same.
 
RYLA brought young people together to learn about leadership, themselves and others. The program was re-imagined as RYLA OLA (RYLA Online Leader Academy) to keep everyone safe and to keep that RYLA spirit alive. 
 
Rooted in the Rotary mantra of Service Above Self, the goal was to keep the essence of RYLA 7910, while creating an online program that encourages participation. It wasn't the 15-hour-plus days of previous years' in-person events, but instead an action-packed and interactive learning environment, inspiring our young, energetic leaders.
