Our club sent 12 students to RYLA this year.  RYLA provides training for our youth to become future leaders.  As a club we are heavily committed to this initiative and investment in our youth.
 
Dear All Members and Friends of our Rotary Club,
 
We should all be very proud for the hard our Club put into supporting RYLA this year. The closing ceremony last Friday confirmed all of this! 
 
This year RYLA graduated 105 RYLA-teers; Students now armed with real confidence and real understanding on how to go out and make a difference in the world! With what we did in supporting our 12 students in Wyckoff and Midland Park getting into RYLA this year is we made a huge difference that will give back, in my opinion, many times over.
 
In closing I must relay how much the RYLA Committee, and the RYLA counselors are thankful for each and every student that District 7490 Rotary Clubs brought to RYLA this year. RYLA truly applauds you!
 
You should know this: "Job well done!!!"
 
Sincerely,
 
John E. Adams
