On 16 May '96, the Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise was chartered as a new club within District 7090 of Rotary International.On 09 Oct '21, we concluded our anniversary celebrations with the planting of a Copper Beech tree at the Rotary Sunrise Parkette along our Sunrise Trail at Argyle Street. A special stone was dragged into place and a suitable commemorative plaque was positioned to mark the occasion.
We continue to be proud of our contributions to our community; it is great to give back especially when it can be done having fun and making new friends; all at the same time.
Shown above are Past President Steve Malo, Jim Peters and President Louise Schebesch.
Last year, we planted 4,200 ... this year, we added another 6,000 daffodil bulbs to further enhance our Rotary Sunrise Trail for those who enjoy its beauty. Soon to be 10,200 daffodials on the RCNS Trail.
Our coordinator sent us this report on a fantastic fall day spent on the Sunrise Trail.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for perfect weather, a great team of volunteers, new recruits from the playground, and for the bulbs to arrive in the nick of time. Whew!! April, 2022 will be offering a gorgeous display of three flower colors on our Sunrise Trail thanks to the efforts of Area 1 Rotary Clubs from District 7090 who banded together on a Day of Action to plant 6K daffodil bulbs the morning of September 25, 2021. Some of our trail users passing by were really excited to see what we were doing in anticipation of the beautiful display we will be seeing next spring. Daffodils represent new beginnings and rebirth and are a welcome site in the spring each year. #rotaryatwork #rotarynorfolksunrise #peopleofaction #rotarydistrict7090 #LoveRotary".
