Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival

 

Laurie & Jim Halfpenny joined Dave Niemeyer in talking about the upcoming Dripping Springs Songwriters Festival in October.  Here's some great take-aways from the presentation.
* Laurie's grandfather was not only a Rotarian, but also a District Governor and Paul Harris Fellow.
* The festival started 4 years ago and we have had songwriters from around the world participate.
*  Admission is FREE
* There are 4 songwriters assigned to each stage at each venue.  The venues are:
     * The Barber Shop
     * Acopon Brewing Company
     * Mazama Coffee Company
     * Mercer Street Dance Hall
     * Sidecar Tasting Room
     * Hudson's on Mercer
* They are seeking sponsors and a Headliner
*  There will be 45 songwriters featured
* The festival has a mobile app featuring songwriters, bio, details of performances
* Local Bed & Breakfasts provide lodging for all the entertainment
* Thundercloud Subs provides the meals for performers
* Creek Road Café provides meals to the headliners
* 60 free shows - the only charge is for the Headliner performance on Saturday night
* Sunday is the Gospel Brunch with the Kyle's and then the Barbershop is open for the rest of the day
* Jim does the songwriter selection and has to narrow it down from over 300 applicants
* Dave shared that the event's charity benefactor is "Kids in a New Groove", a program to mentor a child in foster care.  100% of the students in this program graduated high school and went on to post high school education.  The festival provides money and instruments. 
* The Graphic Guitar Guy donates a guitar to be auctioned off.

RYLA Student Presentation

Rotary Youth Leadership Academy

Dripping High School students Josh King, Nikhil Clayton and Kenton Borgonah shared with the club their experiences at RYLA last month.   The boys spent 4 days at Camp Newcomb.  They all agreed that they were a little overwhelmed on the first day, but everyone was so welcoming that they quickly felt like part of the event.  Everyone was split into groups ensuring that no 2 people from the same school were on the same team. 
 
Ms. Lulu taught leadership qualities for life and they all picked up some very useful tools for developing leadership skills.  Josh was shy at first but had good interactions once he got past that.  Ken was shy at first, even though he considered himself outgoing until he go there and Mikhil learned to communicate better as a result of this training.  Both Kenton and Mikhil volunteered to be leaders at the RYLA camp next year.
 
The camp was a very athletic camp, hosting the RYLA Olympics.  Josh's team won 7 of 8 mini challenges, but were 'out-gunned' on the dodge ball court.   Kenton shared that his team really came together in the challenge where they used uncooked pasta, tape and a balloon to build a replica of the Eiffel Tower.  Nikhil liked the mosaic challenge because they had to build something without speaking.  Josh really liked the Mind Games and Rope games.  They all learned problem solving techniques that included looking at thing 'differently'. 
 
They agreed that they made lots of new friends and are staying in touch via group chats.
