RYLA--Jason expects six applications for RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Award) which involves a weekend leadership training session.  It costs the club $375 per person, which means we would need to go over budget if this is approved.  A motion was made and seconded to approve this expenditure.  Approved on a voice vote.

Juddy introduced TJ Donovan, Vermont Attorney General, who stressed the need to trust people--they want to do the right thing, and sometimes they need a helping hand from the law to rebuild their lives.  He has gotten his staff out in the field so the public can help form the department's priorities.  On drug addiction, the emphasis is on prevention, and he plans to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for their role.
