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.
