Congratulations Kathy Wefer, who received her second Paul Harris Fellow award.

Sunrise Rotary Board Report – The Board voted to contribute $250 to Wenatchee High School DECA Club and $200 to Justin Peterson, Inland Northwest Honor Flight.  DECA is an International Association of marketing students that provides members and advisors with development activities.  Inland Northwest Honor Flight transports inland Northwest war veterans to Washington D.C. to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices.

Our weekly Rotary meeting “sitting fee” (cost of attending the meeting for those who do not eat) has been eliminated.  The breakfast fee will increase $.50, but the menu will rotate throughout the month to provide more variety.

Save the date:  Saturday, April 23 9-12 for Rotary Park Spring Spruce Up.  The three Wenatchee Rotary Clubs are working together to improve amenities at the park, e.g. installing a baby changing table in the restroom.  Kevin Love is organizing and needs your help.  He will have a sign up sheet at our next meeting.

May 4th is the annual service club luncheon.  Our Club will have a table.  Let Wayne know if you would like to attend.
