RYLA Roundup - August 8. It is from 9 until 12, registration starting at 8:30. I am registered. I hope someone else wants to attend, so we are ready for 2027. The district wants to have every club participate in RYLA. We have done so in the past. Last year we sponsored a camper and July 2 we served breakfast. This year we hope to sponsor a camper and perhaps pick the recipient, with Sherrick's help. In the past our club was very involved, and the hope is to get back to that level.
