Congratulations to Kathryn Crawford and Samantha Landers for being nominated by the teachers to attend RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Program). Our local Clarion County Rotary sponsors two students from schools in Clarion County to attend RYLA. RYLA is a week-long conference over the summer at Westminster College for approximately 100 high school students from northwestern Pennsylvania. The purpose of the conference is to encourage and develop young leaders and potential leaders by providing them with a meaningful training experience. Throughout the week,  students will be engaged in stimulating lectures and discussions of leadership skills; youth-related concerns; public issues; community service activities; career guidance; and recreation, along with evenings filled with talent shows, campus movies, concerts, and social events. Prior to the conference, Kathryn and Samantha will have the opportunity to attend a Rotary meeting and lunch to meet other Clarion County students that will be attending RYLA. Congratulations girls, The Bark wishes you a safe trip!
