Program: "My RYLA Experience" presented by Nathan Judd, a Club-sponsored attendee of RYLA; introduced by Amy Norman, pp
Nathan Judd spoke of the speakers, activities and what he learned. Speaker topics were breaking barriers, what is Rotary; ethics; and communication. Activities included teamwork exercises and an outdoor project painting the cabins at the amp. What he learned is that he will be a Rotarian in the future, leadership skills, public speaking, be more outgoing and that there is more to life than college and a job.
