The Eat Cheap night not only added some funds, it was also a way to update Rotarians about what they are doing in a relaxed, social setting. To make the event successful, the teens went out into the community to secure some sponsors and donations of raffle items. Flatbread Providence and Wes's Rib House generously supplied the food and Rotarians came in for $10/head to mingle and show support.
Brittany Mendoza, sophomore at Classical High School, gave a brief overview of her experience at RYLA and then updated everyone on their service project plans. Stay tuned for more details, you will all be invited!
