It was a fascinating presentation and we learned so much about sardines and what they meant to the economics of Maine.

Our speakers last week were Cole Ellis and Baxter Smith, the two young men who were our RYLA attendees. They shared their experiences at RYLA, ranging from cold cabins to language differences to leadership growth. Both said it was a great learning experience and they were appreciative of our sponsorship.

We couldn't be prouder of these two young men!
