Cheneys attend SCRYE conference

By BIANCA CHENEY

JP and I recently attended the winter South Central Rotary Youth Exchange conference in Tulsa.

The SCRYE is our multi-district organization for the youth exchange program.

Some 100 people attended the conference from 34 districts. The Board meeting was on Friday afternoon and many wonderful breakout sessions were held on Saturday, covering all topics relating to the program.

JP was prepared to make one breakout presentation and, after we arrived found out another presenter was not able to attend, JP happily agreed to lead a second presentation. He does a great job and always receives good feedback from attendees.

I am on the Management Committee and a member of the Training Committee, responsible for selecting topics for each conference, as well as confirming speakers.

SCRYE conferences are held twice a year — winter in Tulsa and the summer conference at various locations throughout the SCRYE member districts. The July conference will be in Albuquerque. You are welcome to join us to learn more about this fabulous program.

District 5520 had seven representatives at the SCRYE Conference in Tulsa.

Attending conference are (from left) Richard Haas, Las Cruces; Melissa Metcalf, Los Alamos; Rob Metcalf, Los Alamos; Laura Gonzales, Los Alamos; Cassidy Gardner, past exchange student to the Netherlands from Los Alamos; Bianca Cheney, Roswell; and  JP Cheney, Roswell.
