Dear Club Presidents/ RYLA Contacts,
We are pleased to announce that the 30th District 6650 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) Conference is scheduled for February 7,8,and 9, 2025 at Waypoint 4180 and the Marriott at Westford Place, Canfield Ohio. The Rotary Club of Salem will be the host club. A description of the conference is enclosed.
It is time for your club to make a commitment to sponsor one or more students to attend RYLA. You do not need specific student names at this time; you only need to reserve places for the number of students you want to send. Students must be juniors in high school to participate. The number of participants will be limited and they will be accepted on a first come basis. To provide more opportunities and student diversity, we ask that you sponsor a maximum of 6 students per Rotary Club. Clubs sending more than one person are strongly encouraged to choose an equal number of male and female students. The conference activities work best when there are sufficient numbers of both young men and women in attendance.
- The fee for sending a student to RYLA 2025 is $435.00, which is due with the accompanying 2025 RYLA Conference Sponsorship. The deadline for submitting this form and $435.00 per student payment is FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2024
- I need the Contact Information Form Back to me with payment. This is the Rotarian who is responsible for working with the local high school(s) in the student selection process, and for coordinating between the school(s) and your club.
- Any returned forms postmarked after FRIDAY NOVEMBER 22, 2024 will pay $450.00 per student. The Club Contact Person will receive all future communications about RYLA.
- The deadline for choosing your students and sending in all of the required paperwork for them is Friday, December 13, 2024
RYLA has the potential to change the lives of our young people and create a life-long commitment to service and leadership. We hope that your club will send one or more students from your community to participate!
Sincerely,
