What a mother has to say about RYLA
Just a quick appreciative note of thanks to relay to you what a tremendous, and I do mean tremendous, time my son, had this past weekend as part of the RYLA Conference. I really can't recall when he has had more fun. He made so many great new friends (8 new friends for Facebook!) at the conference, plus he got so much out of the various workshops.
I can't possibly begin to remotely thank you enough for providing and sponsoring such an awesome program for the school kids. It was a true lifetime experience for Nils as he looks forward to being a Rotary Club member himself some day.
