Time flies.
RYLA applications are sought for RYLA 2018.
Richard Solomon is leading the selection process for RYLA participants nominated by members of our club, so put your thinking caps on and see if you can identify potential nominees.
The RYLA week is being run this year by our Club, so it is a big RYLA year for RCON and we are integrating some positive new ideas into what, as you know, is already a very successful leadership development week for the selected young adults to further develop their leadership team work and communication skills and self confidence. Many RYLA graduates each year refer to their experience as " the week that changed my life."
- The website - www.ryla.co.nz - has been upgraded and I suggest you familiarize yourself with it.
- A process change is that ALL applications are to now be completed on line through the format on the website. There they will be received by the District Organizing Committee straight into the RYLA data base.
They will then email a copy of each application back to our Club for the interview process.
PLEASE ENSURE the box is completed on each application, indicating the application is through the Rotary Club of NEWMARKET
