The District 7910 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) took place at Fitchburg State University from June 21-23. Our club was well represented by ten talented sophomores from Bedford High School, as well as two returning participants from last year's cohort who served as Group Facilitators. Despite the hot and rainy weather, RYLAns honed their leadership skills and created lasting bonds thanks to the expert planning and guidance of District RYLA Coordinator Christine Pinney. Engaging 200 teens year after year is a huge effort that Christine makes look easy! Many Bedford Rotarians volunteered over the course of the weekend to include Tom Pinney, Katie Pinney, Presidents Al & Ralph, Victor Tom, Sze-Wen Kuo, Dawn Kociubes, Diane Ryan, and Karen Sun. We are grateful to everyone who helped support this transformational event, making it the BEST RYLA EVER!
