Sunrise Rotary Has a New HomeSunrise Rotary is now meeting at the First Presbyterian Church in Downtown Petoskey. The address is 501 E. Mitchell Street, the corner of E. Mitchell and Division Streets, across from the Crooked Tree Arts Center. Members and guests are advised to enter through the back door and then go down the steps to find our meeting room. Street parking is free at that hour, and there is also a small lot behind the church. The club is grateful for its long-standing relationship with Beards Brewery and will miss the great views and cool vibe for its meetings there. Thank you to Ben Slocum and his team for making us feel so welcome and for providing such a great meeting space over the past few years. The space at the Presbyterian Church is newly renovated and will provide a new, comfortable venue for Sunrise Rotary. We look forward to this next chapter in our club's history that now spans 25-years! Our meetings will continue to begin at 7:30 a.m. and end at 8:15 a.m. on Tuesday mornings.

Highway Pickup - Service Project and a great way to "Commune with Nature"!
Posted by Andy Hayes
Record turnout (18 club members); Record pickup (over 26 bags of litter in two locations) and record time (we were heading home by 9:30)
Adopt a Highway pickup day a big success. The fun began at 7am with breakfast at JW Filmores, (and making sure everyone saw the safety video) followed by clean up crews hitting our US 131 section between Walloon Lake Junction and River Road (approx 2 miles) and our bike path section which is approx 1.5 miles behind Glens North. Lots of fun and as you can imagine, we had as much fun at breakfast as we did "communing with nature" on the service project. |
