As we come out of the COVID 19 this year, let’s try to work adding to our membership. If everyone just asks one close friend or business associate, we will be able to grow in 2021.

Our Thursday Meeting on January 14th we hosted past Club 11 Rotarian Juli Niemann. She gave us her annual humorous but informational presentation of the State of the Economy and a look ahead for the various investment opportunities. We were able to do this with 29 Rotarians in person and 31 attending via Zoom. Juli also gave her presentation via Zoom.
Our next meeting will be on Thursday January 21st. Ken Weintraub will be our speaker giving a program on the “History of St. Louis Sport’s History”. I am sure we will enjoy another great program this week. Richard Losciale was able to get this speaker for us and will do this introduction.
Each week I will highlight something about Rotary that all Rotarians should know or be aware of.
ROTARY YOUTH LEADERSHIP AWARDS (RYLA)
Each summer thousands of young people are selected to attend Rotary-sponsored leadership camps or seminars in the United States, Australia, Canada, India, France, Argentina, Korea and numerous other countries. In an informal out-of-doors atmosphere, 50 to 75 outstanding young men and/or women spend a week in a challenging program of discussions, inspirational addresses, leadership training and social activities designed to enhance personal development, leadership skills and good citizenship. The official name of this activity is the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program (RYLA), although the event is occasionally referred to as Camp Royal, Camp Enterprise, Youth Leaders Seminars, Youth Conferences or other terms.
The RYLA program began in Australia in 1959, when young people throughout the state of Queensland were selected to meet with Princess Alexandra, the young cousin of Queen Elizabeth II. The Rotarians of Brisbane, who hosted the participants, were impressed with the quality of the young leaders. It was decided to bring youth leaders together each year for a week of social, cultural and educational activities. The RYLA program gradually grew throughout all the Rotary districts of Australia and New Zealand. In 1971, the RI Board of Directors adopted RYLA as an official program of Rotary International. (34)
