Tuesday morning, June 26th: The music started playing and the joy among RYLArians spread throughout the Convention floor and down the aisles! All involved were exuberant over an incredibly successful 1st ever RYLA Internatonal Convention.

Tuesday morning, June 26th: As a fitting tribute to all the RYLA 1st ever International Convention had meant to those who had the privilege of participating in it, two very special young RYLArians, chosen by their peers, addressed the throng of International Rotarians at Convention 2001. The world will continue to become a better place, as we look forward to RYLA Convention 2002 in Barcelona, Spain!
