RYLA is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where leadership skills are developed while having fun and making connections.
The group of eight students sponsored by the Rotary Daybreak Club attended a recent club meeting to share their experiences from the conference. According to the students, they learned perseverance and hard work helps in your career as well as in building friendships. In addition, the students said it was nice to hear from professionals in their fields and to get different perspectives from their own.
They also learned the Rotary 4-way test: “Of the things we think, say, and do: is it the truth, is it fair to all concerned, will it build goodwill and better friendships, and will it be beneficial to all concerned?”
The Club meets at First Baptist Church Trussville at 7 a.m. on Wednesday mornings.
