The Rotary of Greater Flint Sunrise takes our commitment to maintaining a key gateway into downtown Flint seriously. The landscaping at the Court Street exit off of I-475 is groomed several times over the Spring and Summer to welcome those arriving into the downtown area. Club members volunteer to plant, prune and weed two main areas at the exit – while always adding in a bit of levity to this fellowship and community service activity.
Are you an established professional who wants to make positive changes in your community and the world? Our club members are dedicated people who share a passion for community service and friendship. Becoming a Rotarian connects you with a diverse group who share your drive to give back.
What better way to conduct an orientation for eight new Greater Flint Sunrise members than to invite everyone to an enlightening evening of dinner and fellowship! On June 28th, new Club members, as well as the experienced ones, met at the Flint Golf Club for a delicious meal and an evening of sharing. Jeff Bennett was the emcee (never a dull moment when he's the presenter) who shared information about Rotary and our Club. Al Tucker explained the history of Rotary and Erin Shankie, our District 6330 Assistant Governor, explained how Rotary is much larger than the local club and actually is a global organization with clubs around the world. Even though the evening was focused on our new members, Jeff took a moment to ask each "seasoned" member to share their "Ah-Hah" moment! It was an amazing evening of information, great food and as always, filled with fun!
