The Rotary Club of Norwest Sunrise is a passionate and active group of community minded local business people committed to making a difference.

As well as conducting Rotary business, we get a lot a lot of value from our friendships. There is a great feeling of camaraderie – we are like one big family! Our members are a healthy mix of both men and women from various industries and professions. All of us still work and are active in the community, so if you have an image that Rotary is made up of elderly, silver haired gentlemen, put it to the back of your mind and let us surprise you!

We love having visitors and showcasing what we do for the local community and overseas, and over the past few months have increased our membership. As a club, we are always looking to make a positive difference both locally and across the globe through fundraising, service and connection with our local community. We have some exciting projects we are working on, so come and visit to learn more and let us know if being involved interests you.

It was such a great pleasure to welcome district Governor Christine Owen to our club meeting this morning.
The ice-breaker question was who inspires you as a leader and Christine’s pick was International President Gordon McInally with his message of Create Hope in the World.
She said his theme was inspired by an elderly lady in Bangladesh who gave him a shell as a thank you for all the work Rotarians had done in her village following a tsunami.
She had lost her husband, her children, home and livelihood in the tsunami and the only thing she had of value was the shell.
Through an interpreter She told him she wanted him to have the shell because Rotary had given her hope when she didn’t think there was any.
Christine reminded us all that Hope can be as simple as a smile or a hello.
Her 4 Goals as DG are requests:
1 Be an engaged member of Rotary
Bring ideas together and bring them to action. Be creative
2 Collaborate with other clubs. Have fun learn together and work together.
3 Rotary foundation. For Every club to donate to the Rotary Foundation and Make it the club’s charity of choice.
4 Stand together to say No to DV. The first Zone project.
Say no to family and domestic violence
And say yes to respectful relationships.
🎉a huge thank you to Christine for her impactful visit.
We also welcomed AG Mercedes Durante, Castle Hill MP Mark Hodges, Frequent visitor Brian King, George who is returning to Bangalore and Gwar who visited us again.
Great to see so many people of action in the room.
There were No rosters because Cherelyn was in school drop off and we had members away working, sick or walking!!!

Our speaker today was runner Doug Noonan who has taken part in two Braveheart 777 marathons.
Braveheart is an amazing organisation that provides a coordinated and holistic approach to the prevention and treatment of child sexual abuse.
www.Bravehearts.org.au.
The 777 refers to 7 marathons in 7 days 7 states/territories starting in Western Australia.
In the last two marathons Doug had raised just under $30,000 for Bravehearts to fund education programs in schools.
19 runners ran 42.2 Kms every day for a week as they travelled around Australia with not a lot of time between finishing their run and heading
His aim is to run the Global 777 which is 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents including Antartica.
We also raffled the wine we won after coming fourth at the West Pennant Hills Cherrybrook Rotary Club’s trivia night and donated the $220 raised to Bravehearts.
Manisha met Doug doing part of the Sydney run but is not planning a 777 marathon either here or abroad any time soon!!!
We also heard from George about the amazing project in Bangalore his club is supporting which we, as a sister club, will support … giving children hope.
Our Rotary exchange student Ingrid gave a report on her packed week including Elvis on Friday (thanks Maria) Music 🎶 Tall Ships on Saturday ⛵️(thanks Barbara) and her first wedding on Sunday bells 🔔(thanks and congratulations to our beautiful Affy and husband Mehran) 💕💕
Our Rotary members have been great in sharing special moments.
