The Rotary Youth Leadership Academy (RYLA) is a five-day residential and transformative summer camp. RYLA fosters our youth’s leadership and personal development, promotes their mental health through social connections, and builds lifelong connections to Rotary. RYLA serves 160 students from 45 schools, with 20+ young alumni continuing their leadership journey as camp staff. Many say RYLA is the best week of their lives.
Our District’s 39th annual RYLA will be held from July 28 to August 1, 2025 at the Redwood Glen Center in Scotts Valley (near Santa Cruz). Opportunities to be involved include serving as a camp counselor (called a facilitator), referring others to be a facilitator (from college students to retirees), or joining RYLA support teams such as the marketing and operations teams.
Rotarians, family, and friends gathered together on the rooftop of Patrick and Co. to watch Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, February 9, 2025. The crowd enjoyed laughter, fellowship, the game, and a pizza/salad/dessert party.
In addition to watching the Big Game, everyone kept an eye on the board bearing the names of the players of our Club's Super Bowl Pool. David Shen won the Pool at halftime. President Bob Hermann won the Pool at the end of the game. In addition to the regular Pool, there was a bonus round for those who were present for the Super Bowl Party. Each of those present received a ticket upon arrival, and the winner of the Bonus Round was Daniel DeSanto. Each winner received a Paul Harris Fellowship. Congratulations to all!
