Bishop Sunrise Rotary Club sponsored two Candidate Forums

 

Many thanks to both the Candidates and the online viewers who participated in the Bishop Sunrise Rotary Club’s two local Candidate Forums this past week. During these forums, we heard from all Candidates running for the either the Bishop Unified School District Board or the Bishop City Council.
At each forum, Candidates first gave opening statements and answers to the questions they had received from us in advance, then they answered questions submitted by local residents and online audience members. Both forums were recorded. If you missed either one – or want to watch one or both again – just click the links below.

RYLA 2019
Posted on Aug 21, 2019
We had a wonderful visit with three local youth leaders last week. Bishop High School Seniors Scott Hennarty (red shirt), Cristofer Ruiz Sandoval and Emily Batcheller spoke to us of the great experiences they each had at the Rotary Youth Leadership Awakening camp at Grizzly Creek Ranch near Portola, CA in February. In addition to being a great outdoor camp experience, RYLA offers students an opportunity to grow as individuals and as leaders in their schools and communities. Along the way they also built communication and problem-solving skills. Scott, Cristofer and Emily shared stories about their adventures in rock climbing and on a confidence building ropes course and the fun of making new lasting friendships without the presence of cell phones!
