RCGC Rotaractors Take Over a Sunrise Meeting! Submitted by Communications
In celebration of World Rotaract Week, our Rotaractors lead our club meeting last Wednesday. At the helm was President Stephanie, PE Matthew Seales and Sargeant Mikhail Campbell. They got us on our feet with a fun ice breaker game and after some announcements, President Stephanie made a presentation on current RCGC projects and events and gave us some insight as to what they have coming up!
As Rotarians we welcome their energy and passion as they partner with us on some Rotary projects. Our plans are to continue to strengthen our relationship with our Rotaractors as they are the future of Rotary, and the future looks bright!

Rotary Sunrise Rotarians assisted again this year with the Heart Health Fair, Get Fit Challenge where kids who registered received an activity card. This card was to be presented when they completed activities at the various stations. Once their card was full (or had more than 6 stamps), they were eligible to pick a prize from the prize table. Prizes ranged from footballs, basketballs, beach balls, volleyballs, kites of various sizes, swim goggles, waterboards, pool noodles, frisbees etc and may other sports related items.
Cards that were full (or had more than 6 stamps), were also entered into the main prize draw. Up for grabs were 2 sleek, black TREK brand bikes donated by Uncle Bills. Shae Hollins (in the pink shirt) was the winner of the over 10 age group and Samara McCoy (in the yellow shirt) was the winner of the under 10 age group.
There were also karate demonstrations, Zumba lessons, dance performances and a session on food nutrition. Elmo from Sesame Street even made his appearance! The event took place at the ARC at Camana Bay from 10am - 2pm. Thank you to all volunteers to assisted throughout the day and to Community Chair Deirdre for once again coordinating this great project!
