Rolena Arthur from the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary club recently presented a cheque for $1,000 to the Fisher Park Performing Arts Society, which was represented by Steve Knowles(L) and Jamie Neve(R).
rst was a $1000 grant to the Steeples Elementary PAC to assist with purchasing a set of contabass bars for the school's music program. COVID-19 had an unfortunate effect on the music program as many instruments could not be played or cleaned sufficiently, and therefore the students were limited in their participation. These new contrabass bars are able to be cleaned sufficiently and utilized by all of the students. The music teacher, Carla Erichsen, has promised some videos and pictures of these students playing once the instruments have arrived, so stayed tuned.
For Rotarians, July is "New Leadership Month". Past-President Al Dyck and President Lynnette Wray recently met at the Rotary wheel in front of a landmark Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary project, the Moir Park Field House, to pass the Presidential torch and launch the 2020-2021 Rotary Year. Al and Lynnette expressed their deep appreciation for each and every Sunrise Rotarian and their efforts to live by Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self."

Out of an abundance of caution, and following consultation with Cranbrook Sunrise Rotarians as well as healthcare professionals, we have made the decision to cancel our March 17th and March 24th morning meetings. (Please note that our March 31st morning meeting has already been cancelled, in lieu of an evening event.) We are intentionally erring on the side of caution to protect the most vulnerable in our community and to help our healthcare system by slowing the onset in our community.
Call it a “win-win.” A win for the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club and a win for the Cranbrook community, especially young people in the city who receive the bulk of the revenues raised through various Rotary youth programs.
What’s being talked about, of course, is the Rockies Film Festival, now in its 23rd year of bringing quality films to local movie lovers, who haven’t always been able to enjoy a broad selection of movies outside the mainstream of the usual commercial fare.
Back in 1998 just after the club was formed “we were looking for a fundraiser” and a film festival seemed just the right project for the club and the community, says long time Rotary member Bill Gibbon. “What we did was add to the local cultural scene so people could enjoy alternate films and now it has become an expected event and everyone seems to enjoy it.”
Rotary’s slogan, “Service above Self” has been a source of inspiration for Rotary members throughout the world for many years. Rotary International is now promoting a new and inspiring public image which depicts People of Action. Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary Club is dedicated to carry out People of Action activities. This concept is no more realized than with the continued restoration of the Alco FA diesel engine by focusing on its surrounding site.
Being people of action takes hard work and involves getting yourself down into the ground, so to speak. Being People of Action takes an effort.
