"RYLA couldn't be what it is without Jared Avery", Scarborough member and RYLA Director, she remarked. She then described some of Rotary Foundations efforts, including disease eradication, promoting peace, education and clean water. Her personal passion is Guatemala, and she thanked Rotarians for their support of The Rotary Foundation. It funds programs in health and literacy for which she is a frequent volunteer.
