For many years, Richmond Sunrise Rotary has been supporting the Victor Ghirra Toy Drive, helping families and children in need during this holiday season. This year was no exception and our morning meeting was dedicated to offering toys and sharing stories of how they are meaningful to us. If you’d like to participate in the Toy Drive, come by the Riverside Palace on Knox Way in Richmond between noon and 2 p.m. this Sunday Dec. 10. Bring a toy or a donation and witness the legacy of Victor Ghirra and the spirit of giving.
Kal Mahal and Debbie Tablotney of the Rotary Club of Richmond Sunrise, met with Burnett Interact Club members, Sarah and Diane. Wonderful connections with dedicated, inspirational young Richmond students.
Happy Hallowe’en from Richmond Sunrise Rotary.
Peter Roaf, ADG District 5040 and Dean Hsieh, past ADG gifted us with two “Owl” speakers to use for our meetings. These are powerful speakers which turn towards the people who are speaking. This was made possible through a federal grant focusing on supporting community foundations of Canada. Enough funding was available that other clubs were able to receive Owls as well. Thank you, Dean and Peter. 
Tyler Choy, our exchange student has been in Japan since August 2022 and just returned in August with stories of his exciting experiences. In Japan, Tylor went to school, played sports, played his saxophone, and travelled throughout the country. He shared his rich experiences (including driving a tractor in a rice field and sitting correctly during a Japanese tea ceremony). 
Danny, our world traveller, never ceases to amaze us, and always brings back a Rotary banner from somewhere - this time from Greece. He just returned from Italy, Greece, France, and Croatia. Connecting with clubs around the world is just another little reason for joining rotary..png)
