Thank you for visiting the West Bend Sunrise Rotary website.  Whether you are looking to serve your community, make new friends, and or network, Rotary is the place to be.  A great group of people doing lots of good things to make our community and the world a better place.  We would love to have you join us!
I have been a Rotarian for over 14 years and I love the focus of service above self.  Volunteering is my favorite way to get to know different people and learn about what is going on around me.  In 2020 I moved to Wisconsin from Illinois and Rotary was what helped me get plugged in to the area and meet people.  Last year I even got to travel to Bosnia with new friends where we helped fund a sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball courts.  Over the years Rotary has also supported me as a short term missionary helping fund school supplies, food and building materials for different projects I was involved in.
Rotary is a worldwide organization with over 1.2 million members in 46,000+ clubs.  Rotary has seven main causes:  Promoting peace; Fighting disease; Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene; Saving mothers and children; Supporting education; Growing local economies; Protecting the environment.  At the West Bend Sunrise Rotary Club, we focus on these needs locally, nationally, and internationally, making an impact both in our community and all around the world.
If you would like to learn more about our Club or schedule a time to be a guest at one of our breakfast meetings, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me via email at swolak@fbhl.com.   We look forward to welcoming you in to show you what Rotary and our Club have to offer!
