Linda got the club to play a rapport building game 'a taste of RYLA'
RYLA focuses on values
how your goals align with your values
what is your goal?
why?
what support do you need to achieve your goals?
what mood are you in?
what is your automatic reaction?
RYLA operates under a philosophy 'challenged by choice'

Quiz questions were asked to the club by Linda
who has attended RYLA? Ivan & Ross in 1968
what is the age bracket for RYLA? 18-30
