May 1, 2019 was an inspiring evening for Sunrise Rotary Club!  We heard from our amazing selected charities and celebrated all the hard work our members did in raising funds.  President Diana Taylor congratulated the 35 charities and presented them with our grant checks.  Thanks to everyone who supported our Foundation in the past year and made these contributions possible!

On June 27 at White Deer Run, our club met for the annual installation dinner to welcome our new President Diana Taylor.  Diana takes over the reins of the club from Tucker Olson, our first two term President.  A special thanks to Tucker and his continued philosophy of "Service above Self" for his year as our leader.  Diana will lead the Club through June of 2019, when she will relinquish her leadership to Greg Hill.   Diana promises a year of openly sharing new ideas in our continuing effort to improve and grow our club. 

 

Diana is shown presenting Tucker with the traditional outgoing Presidents recognition plaque.  Diana also him the "Boot", a traveling reward held by the past president, which highlights the names of all of the club's past presidents.

John McDonald is recognized as Rotarian of the Year by outgoing President Tucker Olson.  John earned the distinction through his continuing involvement in all our club's activities and his unwavering success at finding quality speakers to address our weekly club meetings. 

CONGRATULATIONS, JOHN!!  WELL DESERVED!
