Great opportunity for anyone aged 18-25
If you are, or have been, a leader at school, work or in your community, then you must apply for a 2020 Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA) today! RYLA is a residential, high-energy programme to develop young leaders to be held at the Silverstream Retreat, Hutt Valley, 22 January to Sunday 26 January 2020.
Preston Lyons (pictured left) was the 2019 Tawa RYLA representative and had this to say: “The theme of RYLA 2019 was to ‘unleash your leadership potential’. RYLA certainly achieved that, and so much more. It was an intense, challenging, and incredibly rewarding journey of growth, teamwork, and leadership. I have innumerable highlights and memories, each of which empowered me to become a better version of myself.”
Application forms are available on the RYLA website – www.ryla9940.co.nz...

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!
With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?
