We have it!! RYLA has a new name!! Thank you to everyone who submitted such great ideas for RYLA. We had 60 submissions. I love our District and am so grateful for your help!! I could not have picked this name on my own!
My staff and counselors had an initial vote, and the results were so close that I issued a second vote for our top 3 choices. In an unbelievable turn of events - we ended up in a 3-way tie!! So I asked DGE Shannon Coleman, DGN Bob Crouch, and DGN-Elect Doug Smith to cast a vote as well to break the tie.
 
Congratulations to our top 3 entries:
RYLA Leadership Retreat - submitted by Nancy Ledbetter from the Rotary Club of Pflugerville
Rise Up With RYLA - submitted by David Kellerman from the Rotary Club of Georgetown
Central Texas RYLA - submitted by Carroll Sharp from Yoakum Rotary Club
 
Honorable mentions:
