This is how we zoom...
These days we meet differently, but it is still great to connect and share the work that Rotary does.  Today we are thankful that Dave Panabaker could join us as one of his last responsibilities as Assistant District Governor.  We appreciate all that you have done Dave, and wish you the best!  We are also excited to announce that our very own Keith Walker will be taking over his role!  Big shoes to fill Keith, but we are sure you are up for the task!  
Fill a Purse for a Sister, A Bag for a Mister V2
Posted on Oct 29, 2019
We are doing this again!  November is Family Violence Awareness month and we think it is an awesome opportunity to spread some hope in our community.  If you have a gently used purse or backpack that you are willing to part with, consider filling it with items that those who have fled a violent situation may need.  Think brush, combs, shampoo, deodorant, book, scarf, mittens, a little sweet candy, an inspirational note.  This is our second year for this project, and our goal is to collect 300 purses/bags to distribute to the Women's Shelter, The Salvation Army and Saamis Immigration.  Can you help us reach that goal?
Welcome Danielle!
We are thrilled to announce our newest member of the Rotary Club of Medicine Hat Sunrise -- Danielle Skogen!  Danielle was inducted today by DG Christine.  Important things to know?  Danielle is a teacher, fluent in 3 languages and has a passion for empowering people and in particular women in third world countries.  Danielle's presence brings great energy and renewed commitment to our international projects.  It has been 30 years since Rotary allowed women to join the ranks.  We are proud to have Danielle join us and look forward to working with her on great things ahead!
DG Christine Rendell
Good things happened on one of the hottest days of the year in Medicine Hat!  DG Christine Rendell met with the board of directors last night, and the club this morning to share the upcoming vision and direction of Rotary.  She hails from Rotary Club of Calgary East and is a strong supporter of small clubs that do mighty things (like ours!).  Thanks Christine for sharing your enthusiasm for Rotary and dedication to doing your part to make this world a better place.
Our latest PHF
He wouldn't want us to brag, but we should...just a bit.  Craig Elder has become our clubs newest (MULTI) Paul Harris Fellow!  Thank you Craig for all you do for Rotary and the community of Medicine Hat.  We want you to know we notice you, and appreciate you! 
MHC President Kevin Shufflebotham

Chamber of Commerce
Lisa Kowalchuk and Sara Mackenzie from the Medicine Hat Chamber of Commerce met with us today to explore the many similarities between the work of the Chamber and the work of Rotary.  Certainly there are some parallels!  Thanks for coming to breakfast with us!  We hope you enjoy our new Sunrise Rotary Roast custom coffee blend.  It is a great way to kick start your day (Rotary and our coffee that is)!

This week we were led on a photographic tour of Keith and Ted's most excellent adventures through Australia and New Zealand.  Crosswalks for the aged.  Fantastic beaches.  Glorious greenery.  Namesake beer and wine.  And apparently a couple of men who drive better on the left side of the road (as per their wives).  Thanks for taking us there by photos!
SERnina project
Posted by Sharla Butler on Dec 13, 2018
We are proud to support Danielle Skogen in her efforts with the SERnina project which provides re-usable menstrual products to school-aged girls in Guatemala.  With the $1000 cheque presented by Syl, the support we provided, helps girls  continue their education and enhance future opportunities.  Danielle also reports that a local business owned and operated by women will be producing these products.  A win-win!
