Bert Frink, a junior at West Brunswick High School, and son of SBI Past President, Beth Frink, attended our

April 8th meeting. Bert, along with six other juniors, were sponsored by our club and attended the RYLA weekend in January. Mary Ellen Good, along with Bert, presented a picture representation of the weekend to the Club, sharing some of the highlights of the RYLA experience.

Bert noted that he was unsure about attending RYLA, not knowing what to expect, only to find the RYLA weekend one of the best experiences he has had. He related that the “Culture Walk” was a session that he won’t soon forget. The “Walk” helped the RYLA participants realize that no matter who we are or what we may have experienced in life in terms of challenges, we are more alike than different.

Special thanks to Bob Stinson, RYLA Rotarian Counselor, for preparing the slide presentation.
