RYLA BBQ
 

SJE/E Rotarians close 2017-18 with a cheer

As you can see from the happy smiles, we had a marvelous visit with campers attending the 2018 RYLA BBQ

About RYLA

RYLA = Rotary Youth Leadership Award

Each year, thousands of young people take part in the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) program worldwide. Young people, ages 14-17, are chosen for their leadership potential. Rotary clubs and districts select participants and facilitate the event’s curriculum. This Camp RYLA is sponsored by Rotary District 5170.

High school students from around the Bay Area are selected to attend RYLA for leadership demonstrated at school or in the community. Many, but not all, of our students are a part of their school Interact Clubs. These students receive scholarships to a week long leadership camp where they learn skills about how to become better leaders, build better friendships, and how to actively apply what they have learned at camp to their lives, schools, and communities.

RYLA aims to:

  • Demonstrate Rotary’s respect and concern for youth;
  • Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders;
  • Encourage leadership of youth by youth; and
  • Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities.

RYLA was officially adopted by Rotary International in 1971, and is one of the most significant and fastest-growing programs of Rotary service. RYLA programs often lead to the formation or strengthening of Rotaract and Interact clubs. RYLA participants often go on to become Youth Exchange students or Ambassadorial Scholars.

Club President Message
Fellow San Jose East Evergreen Rotarian!
 
July 1 begins a new Rotary Year with the theme:  “Be The Inspiration”.  
Lets be the Inspiration to each other and the East San Jose / Evergreen community this coming year! 
 
Our Leadership Team is energized to guide in this direction. We are a growing Club so we shall see lots of efforts to be Rotarian in new and varying ways.  Can we grow to 40 members and beyond?  Shall we all find ways to support East San Jose and build a better community?  Shall we join together to support the Rotary Foundation?
 

NEW APPOINTMENTS FOR THE YEAR

Carlos Cruz has volunteered to  head the ROTARY FOUNDATION Support efforts and to lead us in activities so we get to know each other better, build constructive business behaviors and enjoy more of what we do best!  He will be resourcing “The Energy Bus” book for ideas and perspectives.  These activities will form part of our Assembly gatherings.

Sara Calkins is heading up the Communications and Website projects.  We owe her tons of thanks for all her contributions and activities that have supported and continue to support the wellbeing of the Club and our community outreach.  Suguna is on a long term stay in India and could not continue her activities with the Club.  However, she will remain as a member. 

Ravi Pathak volunteered to be the Youth Protection Officer.  His task is to encourage and ensure that everyone completes their Youth Protection Training and gets the ‘Live Scan’ too!

I look forward to seeing you all in our next meeting on Thursday July 12, 2018 at 12.15pm.  We shall be back at the San Jose Country Club on Alum Rock Road at least for this week.
