Charter Night
Rotary Sunrise was pleased to be celebrating the club's 16th anniversary on Wednesday, April 18th. The evening's festivities were held at Cayman Cabana. Current members were joined by a few of the club's Charter members at a feast fit for a king, an island king that is. The Farm to Table dinner was an amazing array of locally grown/caught and prepared dishes.
