Our Club sponsored four Santa Paula Highschool juniors this year to participate in the Rotary Youth Leadership Acadamy (RYLA).  RYLA is held at Camp Ramah, in the hills north of Ojai.  Leadership and teamwork are the goals of the annual event. Club Member, Stephanie Becerra, is our RYLA coordinator and with the help SPHS teacher advisor, Tasha Wisniewski, encouraged these four students to attend.  From l-r are: Alan Alvarez, Tyler Garces, Mario Pacheco, and Yessica Zavala.  Students arrive pensive and reserved but leave with insight and memories that will benefit their personal and professional lives.  RYLA was held from April 11-14, 2019.  In addition, long-time Club member, and past-president, Mike Mobley, was a camp counselor this year.
