Let's have an amazing turnout to hear about the impact RYLA has had on the students.

Watch for specific details as to location of the meeting at Cortez.  

Join fellow members for lunch followed by distribution of Rotary Flyers to offices in the complex.  We're on a roll with adding three new members and a fourth to follow soon so this is an opportunity to grow our club further with lots of potential members right in our back yard!  Please attend--the more members we have, the faster the task and the more offices we can cover--many hands make light work!
