Rotarian Norma Anderson
presented the program at Port
Orford’s Rotary Club meeting
on Thursday, May 15.
Norma is the Chair of the
Rotary Youth Leadership
Awards Program (RYLA).
RYLA is an intensive training
program for young people,
ages 14 to 30, who are chosen
for the award.
The leadership training is
conducted at a summer camp
of workshops for a period of
three to ten days.
The workshops are conduct-
ed by capable instructors
under the direction of the
local Rotary Club. Costs are
paid for by the sponsoring
Rotary Clubs.
The RYLA program permits
young people to debate issues
of professional responsibili-
ties and human relations,
improve leadership and com-
munication skills, learn abut
businesses and institutions
while having fun and making
friends.
RYLA provides young peo-
ple ehe opportunity to refine
skills and explore pertinent
topics with their peers.
For Rotarians, the program
provides the opportunity to
develop leaders, to share valu-
able experience and bridge the
gap between generations.
Port Orford Rotary Club
will sponsor three young peo-
ple to the RYLA program this
year.
The recipients of this award
are Cora Wahl. Jane Campbell
and Devon Ashdown. Ashley
Curry is the alternate.
