Holiday Breakfast 2021

Member News • Jan 9th, 2022 • (updated: Feb 17th, 2022) • 0 Comments

 

Sunrise Rotary had its 2021 Holiday Party in December and Santa Claus came and a good time was had by all. For some unbeknownst reason our regular meeting location was locked up when we arrived for our annual Christmas Breakfast. With some lightning quick thinking and some good restaurant friends we were able to relocate to Millie’s Restaurant for our Holiday Bash. The kids were worried that Santa Claus would not be able to find us but lo and behold he showed up with a big bag full of presents. Everyone enjoyed a delicious breakfast, a nice change from the individually wrapped breakfast sandwiches and pastries we have had since coming back from COVID inspired Zoom meetings. The Interact Board from Covina High joined in on the fun together with a crowd of young excited Rotarian kids. A great ending to 2021 for Covina Sunrise Rotary Club. Here's a collection of photos from the amazing event!

The goal is to enhance the literacy skills of English language learners of all grade school ages.

If you have or know children of grade school age, check out the program - we believe it can really help improve literacy in our youth.

Operation Santa Clothes

Our flagship Operation Santa Clothes program has clothed over 35,000 kids with new clothes! We have also been able to provide over $50,000 in scholarships in seven high schools. OSC began in 1994 serving 73 children from one Covina school. The project focuses not only on provided clothing, but giving self esteem, character development, and a sense of caring to these kids. You can help with a tax deductible donation here. See our Santa Clothes page to make a donation or for more information.
