Welcome to the Rotary Club of Quinte Sunrise

Although a small group, we have been making a positive impact helping our community for over 30 years. Between volunteering a team of drivers for Operation Rednose to maintaining sections of the Quinte Conservation Area to cleaning up scrap metal, our sweat equity is well known. We also hold annual fundraisers, such as Curl for Kids, to provide financial contributions to places like Camp Trillium and Quinte SailAbility.

We invite you to explore our website to learn more about who we are, what Rotary is about, our service projects, future events, and speakers, and how you can get involved. We meet Thursday mornings at 7:00AM and invite you to come and join us. Should you have any questions please contact us. We hope you learn about us and we get the chance to meet and learn about you.

Supporting our community

Although our our news feed has been quite for just over a month we have not and have continued to be people in action and supporting those in our community.

We were pleased to present a cheque for $1500 from the Sidney Community Service Club Charitable Foundation to Chris Houlden of COED (Continuing on in Education) and Susan Wall of Abigail's Learning Centre.

Quinte Hospice Golf Tournament

On June 25 we were happy to sponsor a hole for the Hospice Quinte Golf Tournament as well as enter a team to play a round. Fun was had by all and we look forward to participating again next year.

This donation more than doubles the funds raised at our recent Curl for Kids bonspiel that was in support of Camp Trillium, Quinte SailAbility, and our Bayside Secondary Scholarship. We look forward to working with Camp Trillium to come up with this year's project.
