Guest Speaker, Haylee Fyfe. Haylee (our RYLA attendee in 2024)
Having just completed her VCE exams and awaiting results which would determine her career path, Haylee nervously boarded the RYLA bus for a week of fun, friendship, personal challenges and the opportunity to build leadership skills. From the very start of the bus journey the fun began with games to break down the barriers and get to meet and feel very comfortable with the other participants. Throughout the week the leaders did a great job with games, activities and problem solving challenges to involve everyone. Haylee enjoyed the opportunity to overcome doubts and nerves to achieve and gain positives from all challenges and the opportunity to change perspectives on life by joining in and trusting other participants. She overcame her nerves to join in, challenged herself and gained confidence to have a go!Haylee is currently doing her diploma of nursing at TAFE and wishes to go on to university to become a Registered Nurse. She completed a 2 week work placement at Barrabill Aged Care Home, Seymour, and is looking forward to her next practical placements.
Vote of Thanks — David Anderson
3 Minute Speaker
With our 3 minute speaker an apology tonight, Chauirperson David took the opportunity to update us on RI End Polio Now campaign.
David and Tippy joined, for part, the annual Rotary Foundation “Ride the Rails” in Sydney, where participants undertake to travel every route of the Sydney rail network, commencing at Cronulla at 4.32am and finishing at Tullawong at 10.30 pm, and raising $115,000 along the way. This is matched 2:1 by the Gates Foundation. A fabulous effort. Two cases of polio were reported in PNG two weeks ago—very close to home.

RYLA 2025 - Julie
It was disappointing to learn today, due to low attendance, that RYLA 2025 has been cancelled. Nakaiah was our candidate this year.
We have been asked to consider redirecting the funds to a program to support past attendees into leadership—RYLA Elevate. Board to consider.
