  Hands Across the Border ceremony between US and Canadian authorities and citizens. In 1931, nearly 100 Rotarians from the United States and Canada met in the historic Prince of Wales Hotel in Waterton Lake National Park and informally pledged peace across our respective borders. Out of that gathering, Rotarians lobbied each country's governments to then officially declare, in 1932, that the combined Glacier and Waterton parks to be known as the WATERTON-GLACIER International Peace Park. This year's celebration will be hosted by Canadian Rotarians on September 13-15, hosting speakers, dinners, hikes, guided tours and international fellowship at the Waterton Lakes Lodge Resort and Aspen Village Inn. Any Montana Rotarian, spouse and kids are welcome to attend and can pre-register at the OFFICIAL WEBSITE. Our three inbound exchange students for the school year will also attend and meet their Canadian exchange student counterparts as part of their exchange education that promotes goodwill and peace among nations. |

For ACTIVE members new to Sunrise Rotary, we wanted to educate you on what distinguishes an active member like yourself from a members whose status is called HONORARY. What is an honorary member, who are they, and how did they get to be Honorary in our club? From Rotary International's membership definition "Honorary membership is used to recognize people who have distinguished themselves by meritorious service and embody Rotary ideals, or those considered friends of Rotary for their support of Rotary's causes. They are exempt from paying RI dues, have no vote in Rotary matters, are not eligible to hold any club office, and are not included in a club's membership numbers." Any club member can propose an Honorary member, but granting this request is a board decision/vote. An ACTIVE member pays dues, is expected to participate in club functions and attend weekly breakfast meetings, and does have a vote in club business. Our club currently has 7 honorary members, all of whom were, at one time, active members serving the club in service. Here they are and their backgrounds. |

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Bob Farrington, Ted Campbell, Andy Blanchford, Mason Shaffer, Danielle Scharf, Doug Chandler, Jim Hamilton, Ted Schmidt, Roger Barnes, Steve Hample, I-Ho Pomeroy, Carson Taylor, and Chris Mehl, Sunrise Rotary recently helped the city of Bozeman with receiving a 50-year lease on the land our Park sits on along with working an agreement with a local developer to receive an additional 2-acres of land adjacent to the park for wetlands protection and rehabilitation. And, in the process, helped to facilitate a name change at the state level. Our new park name is now (or soon will be) Glen Lake Rotary Park. Due to the dedication of these members, and many others, we can now move forward with the next larger phases of our park master plan later in spring 2019. Watch for additional details forthcoming from the Community Service committee.  |
