Club Events
Hey everyone,
A few quick updates!
First, remember you can always find the blog on the Sunrise Rotary website. The last couple weeks there have been other things besides the weekly minutes. Jim posted some stuff from the Million Dollar dinner and there was recently an update from our exchange student.
Also, the Adamson's have purchased a table at the All Service Club luncheon on May 3rd. It would be great to have a table full of Sunrise Rotarians. Six seats are taken so there are four left. Get a check to Leslie for $25 as soon as possible to reserve one of the remaining seats.
Finally, the last club social at Columbia Valley Brewing was a big hit! 23 people in attendance. These socials are a great way to connect outside of the meetings and get to know each other a bit better. Partners, friend and future sunrisers are always welcome!

Brags and Confessions:
Kathleen went to Olympia with the Highschoolers and the Governor kept bragging about the bike ride!

Million Dollar Dinner a Success
The Rotarians of District 5060 were challenged to raise $1 million and blew the doors off by raising over $1.5 million USD (more than $2.1 million CAD)! The monies go to The Rotary Foundation - recently named the top charity in the world. Rotary International Polio Chairman, Mike McGovern, and Past RI President, Wilf Wilkinson were the speakers in Wenatchee and Kelowna. Thanks to Wenatchee President Jim Russell for organizing the fundraising effort south of the border. Members of the Cadman family were present to help celebrate the work their father, Ed Cadman (Wenatchee), who was RI President in 1985-86, and instrumental in starting the polio eradication effort in Rotary. Thanks to Kathleen McNalty and Robin DeRock, who each gifted $10,000 through their legacy to The Rotary Foundation endowment fund, and join Jim & Carol Adamson as our club's Bequest Society members. We encourage other to consider the gift that will keep on giving, by donating $1000 (benefactor) or $10,000 (bequest society) through your estate, life insurance, etc. to the Foundation.

April 4th Meeting
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
May 30 the Challenge Scholars will be at our club, and Erin and Rani will be presenting the scholarships to the senior recipients at each school's awards nights that week.
The bike ride committee (and anyone else) will meet Friday at Smitty's (7:00 am).
Highway cleanup. This Saturday our club will be cleaning our 2-mile stretch of the highway. Meet at 8:00 am at the Hydro Park nearest to town. Bring gloves and good hiking shoes/boots.
Friday night is the Million Dollar Dinner for the south half of the district. The goal has been to raise $1M for the Rotary Foundation by having people gift or pledge $10,000. Most will do this by leaving money through their estate or life insurance, a painless way to keep the Foundation strong into the future. You can also attend by purchasing tickets for $50 each. This will be a great opportunity to hear Past RI President, and Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair, Kaylan Banerjee, and learn how lives are being changed by the gifts that we give. It will also be a time to celebrate what Wenatchee's Past RI President, ED Cadman, did to help start the polio eradication effort in the mid-80s. Contact Frank Clifton of the Wenatchee Club (919-922-6261) if you would like to contribute or attend.

Board Meeting, April 10 at Wild Huckleberry (7:00 am).
PUB Social on Wednesday, April 12 at Columbia River Brewery (5:30). Come enjoy the friendships and have some fun. This is also where some of our best ideas get started.
PROGRAM:
Lee Hendrickson and fiancee Amber talked about their trip around the world last year. They saved,
planned, house sat, camped in their car, and traveled to many locations around the world for a year on a total cost of about $16,000. That's living smart and simple.
They started across the US in January, 2106 to Maine, where they spent over 2 months. Then they filled their backpacks and headed to Asia for 6 months. There they house sat in China, and visited Russia, South Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Next they headed across to Norway, to see the places where Lee's decedents are from, and then back to Wenatchee.
