HELP NEEDED FOR 2020 RYLA CONFERENCE
From Barbara Loudon, District 6650 RYLA Conference Coordinator:
At the RYLA conference, students really enjoy receiving goody bags with giveaways provided by District 6650 Rotary Clubs. Please ask your club members if they have promotional items from their businesses that they would like to contribute. Clubs may also choose to contribute something from the club itself, or money to buy items. Please remember:
- These bags are for 16-17 year-old's. They like pencils (especially mechanical ones), highlighters, post-it notes, key chains, small toys, playing cards, Frisbees, fast food coupons, gum, candy bars, etc.
- Please NO political giveaways. We will not use them.
- Please NO CAFFEINE snacks or drinks. We cannot distribute them for safety reasons.
- You will need 100 of any one item so every bag gets an item.
- Since we assemble the bags before the students arrive, items must be received before Tuesday, February 18, 2020.
Items should be delivered or mailed to:
ATTENTION: Lori Jewell
Salem Area Chamber of Commerce
713 East State Street
Salem OH 44460
Lori’s business phone is 330-337-3473
