🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ WALK WITH US FOR A POLIO-FREE WORLD!

The Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise is getting together for a Polio Plus Awareness & Fundraising Walk, and we’d love to have YOU join us!
📅 Saturday, October 31
⏰ 10:30 a.m.
📍 Nixon Rail Trail
Bring a friend, lace up your walking shoes and help us raise awareness—and funds—to support the global effort to eradicate polio. Every step and every donation helps!
🌎 A polio-free world is possible—but we can achieve it only by taking action together.
And there’s more! After the walk, we’ll head over to Rambling Road Brewery for some lunch, fellowship and a tour of the brewery. 🍻
Can’t make the walk? You can still help!
Consider making a donation to Polio Plus.
💰 E-transfer: treasurer.rcns1@gmail.com
Please put “Polio Plus” in the memo line.
Whether you walk, donate, or do both, you’re helping Rotary move one step closer to a world free of polio.
👉 Please let us know if you plan to join us at wolflindemann1@gmail.com
Grab your walking shoes, bring a friend and let’s get moving for Polio Plus! 💙🚶‍♀️🌎

30th anniversary Open House
A wonderful gathering of Rotarians, Chamber of Commerce members and the public at Riversyde 83 on Tuesday afternoon September 15 to celebrate the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise's 30th anniversary of service in the Norfolk community.  
President Pam Shantz, Adele & Eric Haverkamp (PHFs), Past-Presidents Mary Mercato & Ross Gowan
A highlight of the event was recognizing Adele and Eric Haverkamp as Paul Harris Fellows - an honour Rotary bestows upon people who emulate Rotary's motto "Service Above Self." Eric and Adele have distinguished themselves over the past two decades through their leadership of Church Out Serving and the amazing work this organization does caring for our neighbours who are dealing with a variety of challenges in the Simcoe and surrounding area. It was befitting that the recognition award was presented to Eric and Adele at this event at Riversyde 83, the home base for Church Out Serving and also the meeting place for the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise. 
Rotary showcased several aspects of the services they provide in the community and beyond through community service, international service and youth exchange.  
Riversyde 83 and their volunteers were wonderful hosts for this event, serving cake and coffee.
