Sunrise Rotary July 11th Meeting.

Welcome to our new president, Erin McCool.

Erin shared the Story of the Long Spoons at the beginning of the meeting.  The message is simple:  Help one another and we all prosper.  Here is a video that summarizes the story.  What a great way to start the year and a great though to keep in mind every day.  Thanks Erin!

We heard from to North Central Washington Library representatives today.  The Wenatchee Library is raising funds for a much needed update.  It has not been changed since it was built in 1959!  The proposed update will include lounge areas, upgraded technology, a cafe, a more electrical outlets and much, much more.
It is amazing what the library offers including free mailing of books to anyone, subscriptions to newspapers and other periodicals, meeting rooms and more.
