Giant inflatable human cannonballs

Our rotary exchange students were treated to some real entertainment. No one had any fun. (There is a real need for a sarcasm font.)

Rotarians Let Loose

We work hard, we play hard! Spending our Saturday night with friends at our Rotary Sunrise Christmas potluck.

Planting at the Parkfield

Raising of the Flag at the Parkfield Restaurant today. Thank-you to Community Living for allowing us install the new flagpole and plant 500 of the Canada 150 Tulips for a spring bloom. We were able to exchange club banners with Dhairya, from India.

John Lawrence honoured for YMCA contributions

Congratulations and a well-done to John Lawrence, a Rotary Sunrise member. He has been such a great contributor to the benefit of the community.

Congrats Jen Rankin

They presented the Interact club with a new Banner for their meetings and presented the club instructor/teacher, Jen Rankin, with a Paul Harris Fellow award, for her involvement with the Interact Club over the last 10 years. Pizza was brought in for Pizza for Polio, and the students learned about the efforts to eradicate Polio worldwide.

A beautiful day to plant a garden at Howell park. It was a big job, but we had lots of help from our Rotary international Exchange Students. Thank-you for all the help!
