Prior items below -----------------------

Keeping past RYLArians in the loop!

We are building great future Rotarians here J, but we’re looking 20 years into the future. Unfortunately, because of that time span and losing contact, most of them will never be involved with Rotary again. L

A Rotarian named Dave Hill suggested a solution – send an occasional New Generations newsletter (maybe quarterly) to all past RYLArians!

I’m looking for board recommendations:

1) Should we pursue something like this?

2) If we were to do this, what group should be included?

o All known past JC’s

o ALL RYLArians in our database (around 1,400)

o All who applied to RYLA (around 4,000)

3) Is there a volunteer to manage the responses and inquiries from those expressing interest?
