The Rotary Club of Kent is excited to introduce the Kent Rotary Flag Program, and community-wide initiative designed to honor our nation, beautify our neighborhoods, and support meaningful local projects. Entirely volunteer-driven, this program offers residents and businesses a simple and patriotic way to celebrate America's most cherished holidays. Join us in creating a powerful display of unity across Kent - one flag at a time.
An annual subscription is $55, and the flag can be displayed at your home or business.

This past week, Marc West spoke to us about RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards), also known as Camp RYLA. This program is directed at high school students generally preparing for their senior year. RYLA, encourages our youth to learn, live and lead by the principles Rotarians value. They encourage youth from all walks of life to work together and learn about each other. RYLA provides educational classes, team building exercises, and encourages personal growth through them all.
Through programs like this, we are able to help build a better tomorrow, wait no a better today. I have always believed that our youth are not just our future; they are also our present. Thank you to Marc and all those that make it possible to bring incredible programs to our Youth.
Yours in Rotary Service,
Larry Lohman
