John will be joined by Janice Clark, Principal-Academics (Doris & Ken Obremski's daughter)

John will give a brief overview of Burke Catholic HS, as the only Catholic High School in Orange County.

I was recently admitted to the BS/MS joint degree program for accounting and finance at NYU Stern School of Business. Originally from Israel, I moved to the U.S. when I was young, and I had the amazing opportunity to complete the first part of my degree in Shanghai, China at NYU's portal campus. Once there, I learned Mandarin Chinese and founded a successful business chapter to connect students with local companies. Outside of academia, I worked last summer at the U.S. Department of the Treasury as a summer analyst in Washington, DC, and I was offered a position at Deloitte this summer in New York City. On my free time, I love to stay active, travel to new places, and give back to my community through the America Reads/America Counts mentorship program in NYC.

Grace Rinaldo, a junior at George Baker H.S. in Tuxedo...topic: Why Rotary Youth Leadership (RYLA).

Please check out this link to our Youth Programs!

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an intensive leadership experience organized by Rotary clubs and districts where you develop your skills as a leader while having fun and making connections.

What are the benefits?

Connect with leaders in your community and around the world to:

• Build communication and problem-solving skills
• Discover strategies for becoming a dynamic leader in your school or community
• Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors
• Unlock your potential to turn motivation into action
• Have fun and form lasting friendships

What’s involved?

RYLA events are organized locally by Rotary clubs and districts for participants ages 14-30. Depending on community needs, RYLA may take the form of a one-day seminar, a three-day retreat, or a weeklong camp. Typically, events last 3-10 days and include presentations, activities, and workshops covering a variety of topics.

Your community might host a RYLA event for secondary school students to hone their leadership potential, for university students to develop creative problem-solving strategies, or for young professionals to learn ethical business practices.

The DICTIONARY PROJECT is designed to aid third grade teachers in their goal to see all their students leave at the end of the year as good writers, active readers, and creative thinkers. Our purpose is to provide third grade students in the community with their own personal dictionary. The dictionary is for the children to keep, so they can take it with them into the fourth grade and use it throughout their school career.
A dictionary is perhaps the first and most powerful reference tool a child should own. Its usefulness goes beyond the spellings, pronunciations, and definitions it lists. It is a companion for solving problems that arise as a child develops his or her reading, writing, and creative thinking abilities. Students benefit from an increased self-reliance and resourcefulness inspired by the maxim “look it up”. Teachers benefit by knowing that their students have consistent access to a tool for homework and in class explorations. The project is an opportunity for children to expand their vocabulary and for many to actually own a dictionary.

PLEASE TRY TO SHOW UP BY 12:15 WITH A STATE ISSUED I.D. so we can start at 12:30....

Mark is looking for a Few Good Rotarians to help with this year's Taste of Goshen. Please try to attend if you are interested.
