Rancho Bernardo Rotary May 18, 2017 Meeting Minutes
 
President Benita called the meeting to order, noting that May is Rotary Youth Service Month, exemplified by our participation in the RYLA program as one example. Jim Hyldahl led us in the pledge .
 
Inspiration presented by Jon Harris. Ed Knight, Greeter, rotated around the room so members could introduce the over 20 guests present, including parents of our RYLA youth who were  present. Gary Saks led us in both our Rotary Welcome Song and "God Bless America." 
 
 
 
Benita thanked  the meeting volunteers, Front Desk, Joel Doss and Karen Stelman; Set-Up Crew, Judy Lutticken and Paul Donick; Photographer, James Kaspar; Scribe, Sonny Googins.
 
 
Announcements included reminders of: the Underwear Drive being led by Frances; sign-ups for RB Alive volunteers,( Sunday, June 4) rsvp   to Troy; Family Day, June 15, rsvps to Gary Saks, and next District Council on June 26. Also respond to notice if you wish to participate in the AVID Interviews held at RBHS.
 
 
 
Troy Daum introduced the RYLA Program and said that the students themselves run the camp. Scott Robertson began the RYLA presentation and  noted that the Camp taught leadership, self-confidence, and service. He introduced the RYLA students- asking each participant to respond to different questions such as "What was your most moving moment? Your favorite leadership position.? What was the most important thing you learned?" Answers were both interesting and poignant.
 
 
 
RB and Del Norte High School Advisors, Caroline Lee and Kathy Marron, respectively addressed the club and were thanked for their leadership, and promoting student leadership as well. 350 students attended RYLA from Southern California Rotary Clubs. Book presentations were made on behalf of the advisors.
