Mission Statement

Missoula Sunrise Rotary developed a Mission Statement that we are proud to share:

Missoula Sunrise Rotary actively supports youth at risk while embracing the Rotary International six areas of focus: promoting peace; fighting disease; providing clean water, sanitation and hygiene; saving mothers and children; supporting education; and growing local economies.

Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park

In September-every year except this year-Rotarians from around the world gather to shake hands across the Montana/Alberta border and vow to never take up arms against the other. This year the event will be via zoom. The two hour seminar will show case the Superintendents of Glacier and Waterton giving their annual State of the Park Addresses. And at the end of the program is the heartfelt vow for peace.

Peace Pledge - Ed Handl

"In the name of all we hold sacred, we will not take up arms against each other. We will work for peace, maintain liberty, strive for freedom and demand equal opportunities for all. May the long existing peace between our nations stimulate other peoples to follow this example."

Annual Hiawatha Bike Ride with Missoula Partnership for Youth Kids

Last Saturday was a beautiful day to bike the Hiawatha Trail. No smoke-blue skies and NEW BIKES for the kids. Thanks to the Missoula Rotary foundation and individual Sunrise Rotary members, so each child could have a new bike. You will remember that these bikes were part of the July project where 200+ bikes were assembled and delivered to children on Montana Reservations. Thank you also to our Rotarian, Joe Hertig, for heading up this special day

Our friends at Travelers Rest

We spent a beautiful summer morning with the Sunrise and Gallager homes at Travelers Rest We heard about the Native Americans that lived and traded in the area as well as the travels of Lewis and Clark. Our guides split us into 2 groups. One group played warrior games and one took the tour thru the area; stopping and learning about Lewis & Clark's campsite. It seems that running and yelling is a hunting game-the kids were naturals. Being good at running and yelling is very useful when herding deer toward your hunting party.
We capped off the morning with a wonderful lunch prepared by Sandy and Farmer's State Bank.

Our Wonderful President Elect-Sandy!

August is Membership Month at Rotary and we celebrate our members! We are proud to award the 2020 Distinguished Service award to Sandy Bollom. She is the rock that is there for her family and for our club. Plus she has seen to it that many small business in Missoula can meet the challenges they face. We count on Sandy to ask the right questions and are brightened by her positive, can-do attitude! Thanks and Congratulations to Sandy!!

What better way to celebrate Rotary Membership month than to give our 2020 Rotarian of the Year Award to a guy who brings passion to all he does within and outside of Rotary. Joe Hertig's passion is service and he is an example to all of us about what is possible when serving others comes before self. Joe says “a person joins Rotary for their reasons and stays for the right reasons." He makes service fun! Thanks Joe for all you do for our club, for the kids and for our community! Congratulations!!dd text here
