The Rotary Club of Santa Barbara Sunrise welcomed its newest member, Molly Morrison!
We look forward to Molly’s contributions of skills, experience, and enthusiasm to make a difference in our communities at home and on a global scale. Together, we can provide lasting solutions for communities fighting disease, hunger, illiteracy, and poverty.
Molly states, "Rotary is an amazing organization which I have been unknowingly waiting to be a part of; a Rotarian's dedication towards community, equality and civic service are values that I consider to be above all. I am thrilled to start this chapter of my life, and am so happy that I get to spend it with Santa Barbara Sunrise!"
Please welcome Molly warmly, get to know her at the club meetings or by taking her to lunch, or inviting her to join you in a service project or social activity.
Molly’s sponsor is Diana Cecala and her mentor is Kathy Scroggs. Welcome, Molly!
