On her travels back she came upon a tragic car accident but was able to be of assistance to the injured parties.  A small child was also involved and a child psychologist happened to be in the traffic jam.

The Sunrise Rotarians have been busy lately volunteering at Concerts and Open Houses.  Check out some photos:

First, last week Westside Highschool had a kick off and some Sunrisers agreed to help clean up.  Who knew clean up meant deflating bouncy houses?   Check out this video:

Also, we have participated in two concerts at the Gorge.  The first was Watershed and the second was the Dave Matthews Band concert.  We have one more coming up:  Def Leppard and Journey on September 29th.

Most of the photos can be found on our Facebook page.  Some of the photos can be found on Robin DeRock's phone but really should never be found by anyone.  Ever.
