Message from President, Rotary Club of Chandigarh
Dear RYLA Participant,
I am pleased to know that you are participating in RYLA at Kufri, being organized by my Club. On behalf of all my Club members, I extend to you a very hearty welcome and promise you a very exciting and fruitful experience during the three-day RYLA.
As has been already communicated to you, all participants (except for those who have opted to reach Kufri on their own) need to report at RYLA base office, Rotary House, 107-A, Sector 18, Chandigarh at sharp 8.00 am on 27 September 2013. After the registration, you will be boarding a bus to go to Kufri. En-route, we will be serving you breakfast at McDonalds at Jabli. We hope to reach Kufri by 3 pm.
You will have one hour to settle down in the campus and have a quick (but late) lunch. The inaugural will be held at 4.30 pm. Following a short break, you will then be heading for a evening/night trek around the campus which will help you get acclimatized to the new surroundings, as also get to know other participants. At 8.30 pm we will gather around a bon-fire for some fun and games, followed by dinner at 9.30 pm and then off to sleep.
On 28 September the day will start at 6.30 am. There will be a yoga session, lectures and games to improve your leadership skills, a primer on ethics and lots of outdoor fun, including adventure activity, tips on camping, rope craft, trekking and much more. In the evening, around the bon-fire will be an opportunity to showcase your talents.
On September 29 the day will begin as the previous day. There will be lecture and games to improve your communication skills, time management, camp craft, outdoor cooking classes as part of team building exercises, rappelling etc. We will be leaving for Chandigarh at 2 pm and hope to reach by 7 pm. Your parents can pick you up on 29 September at 7 pm from Rotary House, 107-A, Sector 18, Chandigarh.
We will be keeping your family informed about your activities by SMS, email, as well as through the RYLA Blog.
To take care of you, your needs and all your activities, there will be an expert team from Negi Sports. Of course, I and my wife Harkiran will be there all through, along with Rtn Desh Deepak Khanna and his wife Alpna, Rtn Arvind Mehan and his wife Sadhna and Rtn Jatinder Kapur. We will also have Dr (Mrs) Amandeep Kahlon Sandhu as a guest speaker on 28 September, as also Rtn Charanjit Singh as one of the speakers. Rtn Prof Dinesh Kumar will be joining on 29 September morning to polish your time management and communication skills.
Rtn Dr Dharinder Tayal, District Chair, RYLA, and PDG Maj Som Dutt, Counsellor, RYLA, will be with us at the inaugural.
All of us are eagerly awaiting your arrival at RYLA and I am sure you too are looking forward to it, and have started packing your bags as per List of Essentials sent to you.
Warm regards
