Ever wondered what Rotary actually does?

We hear that question all the time! We like to think we’re shouting it from the rooftops… but clearly, we’re not shouting loud enough! 😊
So, we’re opening the doors and inviting YOU to come see for yourself!

Join us for an Open House, presented in partnership with the Simcoe and District Chamber of Commerce, Business After 5, and Riversyde 83.

Come out, meet some great people, discover what Rotary is all about, learn more about the work we do in our community, and see what opportunities are out there to get involved.

You might be surprised by what you discover!
📍 Riversyde 83
📅 Sept 15, 2026
⏰ 4:00-7:00
Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and come check us out. We’d love to see you there!

We're complicating things a little this month, so please bear with us! We will have our SEPTEMBER BUSINESS AFTER 5 gathering at Riversyde 83, as guests of Norfolk Sunrise Rotary's 30-Year Anniversary Open House. Display areas will be set up to inform us on each of the projects that Norfolk Sunrise Rotary has executed or contributed to, including Riversyde 83 itself!
Come and network with an expanded group, celebrate three decades of contributions this dedicated group has made to the community, and eat cake!

Bristol and Christy were invited to The Barrel to put their taste buds to the test! 🍝🍴

They tried two of the restaurant’s most popular entrées and gave their best critique on each one.

What makes The Barrel stand out? Their sauces are made in house, fresh vegetables are sourced locally several times a week, and seasonal ingredients can even inspire exclusive menu items. 🌿

Stop by The Barrel and try it for yourself!
