Sunrise Rotary annually applies (and usually receives!) a Rotary District Grant. Half is from our fundraising, half is from our Rotary District 5970 Foundation funds.
This year our $5000 grant project at the Indian Creek Nature Center has been APPROVED!.
The project is removing undesirable underbrush in the forest south of the "Barn"... their original facility. New undergrowth trees will be planted in Spring 2026.
Undergrowth will be removed this fall, with the help of AmeriCorps, our Rotary Members, and perhaps Boy Scouts. Rotarians from other clubs in the area are invited to assist.
AmeriCorps focuses on community service and civic engagement, offering opportunities for individuals to serve in various sectors like education, environment, and disaster relief. AmeriCorps was recently re-instated and will operate until Nov 15, 2025.
