Join Newport Beach Sunrsise Rotary

Dear Friends,

Welcome to the Newport Beach Sunrise Rotary Club.  Rotary is the oldest and largest service club in the United States. It began in the United States in February of 1905 and has spread worldwide. Rotary has clubs in almost every major city in the world, and very likely has a club or two in your hometown.

On an international level Rotary has a major goal to end polio throughout the world. Rotary members from clubs on every continent have joined to administer vaccines to children of every race, creed and color in order to prevent polio, just as Small Pox has been eradicated from the planet. It is almost gone; just a few hundred cases in the world now. We are “This Close!”

On a local basis, Newport Beach Sunrise Rotary supports many worthwhile organizations in our own neighborhoods. To name just a few: Working Wardrobes, Salvation Army, Wounded Warriors Families, scholarship funding for Back Bay/Monte Vista Continuation High School graduates, along with vision, hearing, dental and healthcare for underserved people in our communities.

Each year we raise funds for the programs we support.  This year, the theme for our annual fundraiser is Passport to Health. Our lead beneficiary is the Bacchus-Doc in a Box project which provides mobile medical, dental, vision and healthcare to underserved children and senior citizens who would not otherwise have care available. The 2014 goal is to deliver $1,500,000 worth of free healthcare to people in our communities. We can’t do it without your help.

Please join us at one of our weekly meetings or upcoming events.  There are many ways you can be a part of the great work we are doing, locally and abroad.
