RYLA 2024

Thank you to the committee and the students for a well run program.

Just one of many comments we recieved from the weekend.

“It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of such a transformative and enriching experience at RYLA. I was filled with a sense of purpose and excitement, knowing that I would have the chance to make a meaningful impact on the lives of the young and future leaders. Throughout the duration of the camp, I was continually inspired by the passion, enthusiasm, and potential exhibited by each and every participant.”

Looking forward to the trip!

Looking forward to some High Seas Baja Fun!!

Let’s do this! Olé 🇲🇽

Yesterday at RLI, Rotary Leadership Institute we delved deep into what it means to lead with impact and purpose. 💪🌍 🌐 www.rotaryleadershipinstitute.org/about-the-program/

We believe that 'All of us are smarter than any of us.' Together, we explored technical know-how, environmental stewardship, addiction awareness, economic development strategies, and so much more. RLI is not just a training ground; it's an action group affiliated with Rotary, dedicated to creating positive change in our communities and beyond. 💡

As we learned about SMART goals and the importance of understanding where our contributions go, we were reminded that change is synonymous with growth. 🌱

Join us and discover more about Rotary and how the RLI parts I. II, & III can help you, your club, and business. Next sessions can be found on DaCdb

P.S. As a delightful reward, we wrapped up the day at the Angry Horse thanks to District Governor Designate Dennis Franklin. A Rotarian once shared their passion for brewing, and Dennis, recognizing the vision, provided financial support to help kickstart the business. Our day ended with a delicious beer tasting and tour! 🍻

What is Rotary?

Rotary is an international membership organization made up of diverse groups of people who share a passion for and commitment to enhancing communities and improving lives across the world. Rotary clubs exist in almost every country. Being a member is an opportunity to take action and make a difference.

How Did We Get Here?

We’ve been making history and bringing our world closer together for more than 100 years. The first Rotary club was started in Chicago, Illinois, in 1905 by an attorney named Paul Harris. Harris wanted to bring together a group of professionals with different backgrounds and skills as a way to exchange ideas and form meaningful acquaintances. In August 1910, there were 16 Rotary clubs in the United States and by 1912 Rotary started to expand internationally. By July 1925, Rotary clubs existed on six continents. Today, there are more than 35,000 clubs, in almost every country in the world.

Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. Through the PolioPlus program, Rotarians have contributed more than $2.1 billion to date and provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world.

Find out more about Rotary by visiting the Rotary International website.

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:

Of the things we think, say or do

  1. Is it the TRUTH?

  2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

  3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

  4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

WE CONNECT PEOPLE

Rotary unites more than a million people

Through Rotary clubs, people from all continents and cultures come together to exchange ideas, and form friendships and professional connections while making a difference in their backyards and around the world.

WE TRANSFORM COMMUNITIES

We take action locally and globally

 

Each day, our members pour their passion, integrity, and intelligence into completing projects that have a lasting impact. We persevere until we deliver real, lasting solutions.

WE SOLVE PROBLEMS

No challenge is too big for us

 

For more than 110 years, we’ve bridged cultures and connected continents to champion peace, fight illiteracy and poverty, promote clean water and sanitation, and fight disease.

Singapore awaits

The Rotary convention is where friendship and learning come together to inspire you. In Singapore you’ll connect with people of action from around the globe at Rotary’s biggest event of the year.

We’ll share fresh perspectives, inspiration, and hope – with each other and the world! The convention features world-class dining and cultural attractions, distinguished speakers, energizing breakout sessions, and much more.

Join us 25-29 May 2024 in Singapore where we’ll be Sharing Hope With the World!
