DUTIES - DISTRICT CHAIRMAN RYTS
Spend the first week of December at Camp Bornhoffen
with a CREW of fourteen enthusiastic attendants and fifty apprehensive
Year 12 and Year 11 students.
Watch as the magic happens and the apprehension fades, confidence
builds, friendships grow, and the group doesn't want to disband at
camp's end.
In the words of one of the students when he spoke at Rotary, "It was the
best week of my life so far."
Prior to the camp:
Hold six or seven meetings with the attendants.
Meetings have been on weekends for about 2 to 2.5 hours. Attendants
come from all parts of the district.
Lead them as they organize the program, the activities and the materials
for the camp.
Send information to the High Schools and the Rotary Clubs about the
camp. Follow up these requests with the Clubs

etc.

To Interested Rotarians
I am currently seeking Rotarians interested in joining the RYTS
Committee.
I would like to invite interested Rotarians to join with me now so that
you have the RYTS experience before you take over.
I personally have thoroughly enjoyed the experience working with
enthusiasitc young people who are prepared to give so much to be part of
the program. The attendants travel from all parts of the district to
meetings, (Goondiwindi to Lismore) and organize their holidays so they
can attend camp. These Rotaractors and other ex-RYLA awardees live the
spirit of Rotary: Fun, Friendships and Service.
