President Laura, wearing her new Duck Derby necklace, last Wednesday led an organizational and planning meeting for Sunup Rotary's Duck Derby fundraiser, which is scheduled to be held on Sunday, May 5, at Watson Lake. All club members are being assigned to serve on at least one of the planning committees for this all-important event. While the selling of thousands of our numbered racing ducks, is a crucial part the success of this fundraiser, and there is a strong desire within the club to get on with that phase, Laura emphasized that our most important priority at this time must be the recruiting of Sponsors, at the different levels. Duck Derby Sponsorship Packages, along with instructions, have been emailed to every member, to enable you to begin helping with this important task. "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give."
— Winston Churchill At its essence, Rotary is about giving of ourselves and our resources to make a difference in the lives of others. YOUTH SERVICE Pictures from this year's RYLA Challenge Course From all reports, RYLA 2024 was a huge success. Congratulations to A.J. Sheridan, RYLA Chair, and his staff! RYLA challenges and stretches these high school youth, and teaches them both Rotary's values and the strength of teaming with others to accomplish more than they ever can on their own. Thanks to our Sunup members who helped achieve this success with our youth. We will be hearing on Feb. 14 from some of the youth our club sponsored this year as RYLA delegates.  Memory Ticklers:
