President Lori Weston with the Rotary District 7810 Assistant Governor Terry Thomas

The Assistant Governor spoke briefly on many of the events coming up in our District and the exciting things happening on both sides of the Border. Houlton Rotary Club is fortunate to be a part of an International Rotary District. Terry spoke on Rotary Leadership Institute, and Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is a leadership development program run by Rotary. While participants can be any age, most events focus on secondary school students, university students, or young professionals. RYLA events are typically 3–10 days long and include presentations, activities, and workshops that cover a variety of topics, including:

• Leadership fundamentals and ethics
• Communication skills
• Problem solving and conflict management
• Community and global citizenship
