Sunrise Rotarians enjoyed one of Santa Barbara’s favorite holiday traditions, the Santa Barbara Holiday Trolley of Lights. Members, spouses, and friends filled one of eight open air trolleys and admired the breathtaking holiday lights around town.
Thank you, Judith McCaffrey, for organizing this fun holiday activity!
Sunrisers continue to raise funds for the Salvation Army at the red kettle outside Nordstrom every Saturday. There is one last opportunity to volunteer on Saturday,
December 24.
The Salvation Army Santa Barbara Corps provides emergency and rehabilitation assistance, youth development services, food distribution, and community programs targeting families of all ages.

DID YOU KNOW?
Virtually all membership in Rotary is based upon a classification. Basically a classification describes the distinct and recognized business or professional service that the Rotarian renders to society.
The principle of Rotary classification is somewhat more specific and precise. In determining the classification of a Rotarian it is necessary to look at the "principal or recognized business or professional activity of the firm, company or institution" with which an active member is connected or "that which covers his principal and recognized business or professional activity."
It should be clearly understood that classifications are determined by activities or services to society rather than by the position held by a particular individual. In other words, if a person is the president of a bank, he or she is not classified as "bank president" but under the classification "banking."
The classification principle also permits businesses and industries to be separated into distinct functions such as manufacturing, distributing, retailing and servicing. Classifications may also be specified as distinct and independent divisions of a large corporation or university within the club's territory, such as a school of business or a school of engineering.
The classification principle is a necessary concept in assuring that each Rotary club represents a cross section of the business and professional service of the community.
In 1995 the Council on Legislation permitted the admission of retired people who had never been in Rotary but would have been qualified. These individuals can be admitted as past service members and are the only Rotarians without a current or former classification.
This is one of a series of short articles about Rotary written by Cliff Dochterman, PRIP, and originally published in the Rotary publication, The ABCs of Rotary.
ROTARY PIN CHALLENGE - Week 25
Rotary District 5240 is made up of 3,500 members from 74 clubs throughout San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Bakersfield counties. The District 5240 pin was designed to represent the diverse regions of our district. I've met wonderful Rotarians from all over our District through trainings, foundation events, service projects, conferences, conventions, Rotary Rose Parade Float decorating trip, and more. While I love the members of my own club, I also love meeting and serving with other District 5240 Rotarians too.
I have challenged myself to wear my Rotary pin EVERY day. By doing this I hope to raise awareness of Rotary and Rotary's work. I invite all Sunrise Rotarians to join me in wearing a Rotary pin EVERY day.
