Significant Achievers are students who have significantly improved in scholastics, sports, and community at either Glenbard West or South.
These students have not only done their expected educational duties, but have significantly added to the betterment of the Glenbard community and the lives of other students.
WHAT IS RYLA? Rotary Youth Leadership Awards - or RYLA - is a not-for-profit training program for leaders and potential leaders (Freshman-Senior). As a RYLA participant, you will attend an all-expense-paid, three day camp. You will be joined by talented young people like yourself from other communities in your area. The sponsoring Rotary clubs involved in organizing the event determine the specifics of each RYLA program. All programs emphasize leadership skills, personal development, and citizenship. RYLA goes to great lengths to make sure the three day weekend is fun and recreational as well as educational for all involved. SPECIAL
This weeks meeting was a chance for several of the students from Glenbard South and Glenbard West, who the club sponsored, and attended the RYLA camp to share with us their experience. Each took a few moments to tell the significant of their experience.
A special occasion at the Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn meeting last week. Rotarian John Mulherin was recognized as a Major Donor.
(When your cumulative donations reach $10,000 a Major Donor can choose to receive a crystal recognition piece and a Major Donor lapel pin or pendant.) John is a dedicated and valuable member for more than his money. He is a consistent participant in the meetings and is a Past President and has held many other board positions. He has also held district positions. John is well deserved of this recognition. To show his value four members of the Governors line can to present his recognition. District 6440 Governor did the honors. Donna Gulley Major Donor Development chair at Rotary District 6440 MC'd the festivities and gave a clear description of the process of becoming a Major donor to the Rotary International Foundation.

Rotary Club members and guests enjoyed the beautiful songs performed by the Glenbard South "Raider Voices" Madrigal students. This is an annual program and the club looks forward to it every year!
Glen Ellyn Rotarians helped pack over 150 food bags for families with the Jr. Woman's Club at the beginning of December. In addition, the club shares the cost of some Christmas presents plus gift cards with a District 6440 matching grant. It is one of the ways we give to help those in need. #serviceaboveself

| The Rotary Club of Glen Ellyn has a longstanding relationship with the Rotary Club in Copenhagen, Denmark. In November, four members of our Glen Ellyn Club traveled to Copenhagen to celebrate their 100th anniversary. Rotarian and International Chair Peter Zeuthen made all of the arrangements and special experiences in Copenhagen. They made many memories including meeting the Danish Princess and Rotary International President Shekhar Mehta. Our Glen Ellyn Club is in the process of collaborating on an international project with the Rotary Club of Copenhagen. More information is coming soon! | ||
