Three Port Allegany High School Seniors spent a week of their summer attending the RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership -Award) Conference held at Westminster College in New Wilmington.  RYLA is a leadership development program organized by Rotary International clubs and districts for young people to cultivate leadership, character and citizenship skills. 

The programs feature hands-on training, team-building activities, motivational speakers, and problem-solving exercises.  Rotary clubs and districts sponsor and cover all costs for selected participants who are chosen for their proven or potential leadership abilities.  The goal is to help young people become effective and responsible community leaders by increasing self-confidence, communication skills and the ability to make a positive impact. 

The Port Allegany Rotary Club selected Alex Schott, Micah Emerick and Kendra Meade through an interview process.  They attended RYLA in June and recently presented a program to their sponsoring club to tell them of their experience.

Cameron County Chamber of Commerce hopes a volunteer recruitment project will aid the more than 40 organizations in the county.  The chamber has asked those organizations to complete a survey which will then be utilized to create a booklet.  That booklet will then be used at formal recruitment events.

“Numerous residents are willing to volunteer, but may not know of the opportunities,” says Cameron County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tina Solak.  This is the first step of a larger project, which will then involve coordinating volunteers to tackle projects around the county.  They could include landscaping at buildings, painting etc.  Solak says the chamber is duplicating a project underway in Kane.  If any organization has not received the survey, members are asked to contact the chamber.  The deadline for returning the survey is November 1.
