Rotary Sunrise has developed a list of tasks to be completed by newly inducted members as a way to help them get to know other members in the club and become familiar with Rotary protocols. Once all 7 required tasks have been completed the member will receive the club's Blue Badge replacing the Red Badge to symbolize the completion of all tasks.
Be Greeter
Four Way Test
Complete New Member Training Session
Getting to Know You Talk
Prepare bio for publication in the Sun
Do a make-up at another club (locally or internationally)
Update your profile on the web-site
There are also 11 optional tasks but the 7 listed above are mandatory and it is suggested to aim at completing the list within a 6 month period (but that is only a suggestion). For more information about the Red Badge Checklist or any new member information please visit our website home page under "For New Members" on the menu bar.

JOIN THE FIGHT
More than one million Rotarians worldwide have contributed to the success of the polio eradication effort.
Due to the GT Yacht Club now open to the public for breakfast, Club Members are being asked to place their breakfast orders with the wait staff at the register by the coffee station. This will not only speed the ordering process but you will receive your meal faster. In addition, if the water jug at your table needs a refill, kindly have someone bring it to the coffee station for a top up.
The management of GTYC thanks you for your assistance

World's Greatest Meal a Success Submitted by Foundation Chair PP Hendrik
Change-Over Night was a great evening in so many ways. Great company, good food and drink, great stories from MC Jonathan, a touching end of the year speech from now IPP JD and President Kim Lighting up Rotary Sunrise for 2014-2015. The evening was our club's second World Greatest Meal Event with all proceeds going towards the eradication of Polio. We raised US$ 1,671 for Polio Plus on Change-Over Night! This amount consisted of the total proceeds from the Raffle, Silent Auction and donations in lieu of fines.
Thank you Rotary Sunrise and especially those who donated prizes for the raffle and the silent auction. Special thanks to multitasking secretary Gina, Rotarian Howard and Director Conor for pulling this off.
Rotary International and especially 2014-2015 RI president Gary Huang are pushing hard to eradicate polio, what helps a lot is that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation match two dollars for every dollar raised by Rotary, so Change-Over Night secured in excess of US$ 5,000!
Incredible, we raised a substantial sum for Polio Plus even before the year started. Thank you and stay tuned for more.
An Evening of Fellowship Under the Stars Submitted by Secretary Gina on behalf of Rotarian Jonathan Adam, Fellowship Committee
After a day of cloud, rain and thunder the evening cleared up to make way for a wonderful night of stargazing under the stars. We had an overwhelming number of registered members and guests for this event - 47 people in total. But sadly, due to the iffy weather during the day we had quite a bit of no shows. However, 25 people did have the pleasure of viewing the moon, Mars, Saturn, two orbiting satellites and a number of nebulous star clusters with use of the Astronomical Society's telescopes.
Fun was had by all as we all eagerly stared at the stars waiting for a "Ukranian" satellite (Iridium satellite constellation) to flare and it just didn't happen. We had a lot of fun under the stars and had a chance to fellowship with Sunrisers, friends, family and even some of our Rotaractors who came very prepared with blankets, wine and drinking glasses to enhance the experience under the stars.
The Astronomical Society was very grateful for the donation of $165 and considering the level of interest from the membership we will likely plan for a fall fellowship when there are more meteor storms taking place.
Sunrise Light Up Agua for Change Over Night
Submitted by Communications Chair Martha
Last Saturday evening over 90 Rotarians, guests, Rotaractors and other service club representatives joined us as we celebrated the Changing of the Guard at Agua restaurant. What a great night of fun and fellowship as we said goodbye to the 2013-2014 Rotary year and said hello to 2014-2015 with lights all a-glow! Immediate past president JD Mosely-Matchett presented well deserved awards to various persons including Rotarian of the Year which went to Gina McBryan and a Paul Harris Fellow to pianist, Mr. Glen Inanga for his great work within the community. President Kim shared the night with the lovely Stacey and his children Jorry and Kourtney who flew in for the ocassion. He shared his passion for what it means for him to be a Rotarian and expressed his goals and vision for the coming year.
The night ended with glow sticks and vibrant music as everyone 'light up' Agua and the room buzzed with excitement for the year ahead.
