About a dozen Milpitas Rotarians and friends were on hand to serve 50 gallons of ice cream in 10 different flavors with all the toppings to around 225 area high school juniors and seniors, some of whom are Rotary Interact officers and members plus Rotary officials, volunteers, and RYLA staff. RYLA goals: * Demonstrate Rotary's respect and concern for youth; * Provide an effective training experience for selected youth and potential leaders; * Encourage leadership of youth by youth; and * Recognize publicly young people who are rendering service to their communities.
