Sunrise Rotary Club will host our annual Holiday Banquet and Auction on Thursday December 5 at the MSU Sub-Ballroom. This is our club's biggest social event each year, providing the majority of funds for our charitable efforts.
This year, be dazzled by our newest addition to the excitement - our own MAGICIAN!
It is that time of year again to come out to support our MSU Bobcats. November 9 is out annual tailgate gathering and football game social. See details HERE on our calendar of events
September 28 was our 15th year of helping neighbors whose homes needed fixing and energy upgrades. We coordinated 50-75+ members and partner/volunteers to improve the lives of seniors and families who don't have the skills or funds to do the work themselves. A summary of final completed work will be coming soon. Stay tuned.
Any members wishing to help HRDC at the annual BOAR Race as a volunteer, or form a competitive team that day, can sign-up at this web page for their August 17 event at Glen Lake Rotary Park.
Our club recently recognized and awarded our Sunrise Rotary Scholarships for advancing their education to these well-deserved Bozeman High School students. Congratulations to each of them for the amazing work they put into their education this year
Our club welcomes 15-year old Tabea Schmidt, our inbound exchange student from Germany who will be with us through next June 2024 and as a student at Bozeman HS. She visited us at our August 18 meeting with her host family Jeff and Jackie Vick. Pictured also are Mike Banville (past youth exchange coordinator) and current coordinator, Uli Staerk.
Much thanks to John Shurson, Susan Penner, Bob Farrington, John Allen, John Mills and others who helped dig trenches, lay water hoses and install sprinkler emitters throughout our new shrub, tree and flower area at our park. With the irrigation system in place, our stream area is full of native color.
We also made good progress at the outlet stream bridge - here Doug Chandler and Bob Dubose did a major cleanout to keep beavers at bay.
We congratulate these exceptional young adults from Bozeman High School who succeeded in obtaining $2000 BSRC scholarships at the recent Bozeman Schools Foundation Scholarship Night. Also receiving $2,000 Bozeman Sunrise Scholarships were Madeleine MacDonald and Elijah Carrol (not pictured)
Thanks to Steve Hample and his able crew of members, they orchestrated a day of inserting many of these TOTEMS along our trails at Glen Lake Rotary Park over the week. This photo shows Northwestern Energy staff placing the 8' tall signpost into the ground. The next time you are at GLRP, watch for them. Below photo: members finishing off the sign base with landscaping and cleanup.
Our Vocational/Education committee took part in helping distribute 750 boxes of favorite school supplies that will find their way to needy students in the 2022-23 school year.
