A huge thank you to all who braved the rain this morning to help at Rotary Park! We spread 10 cubic yards of mulch, pulled weeds, planted flowers, and picked up the trash around the shelter. A great tribute to service above self from our Muncie Sunrise Rotarians!

We had a very inspirational presentation at Muncie Sunrise Rotary Club this morning given by Mark Goldman (a past president from the Portland Rotary Club) and his daughter Natalie. They gave a heartfelt talk about their trip to Japan due to a Rotarian friendship that began decades ago!
The club enjoyed a delicious carry-in breakfast this morning! Always a favorite club activity! 🤣
Bob was the lucky winner to take the Rapkin Riddler Quiz!

This past Friday we enjoyed the Belize part 2 presentation from 2 more of Cecil Bohanon's students, Jay Crawford and Zeke Witter. Ball State did projects for the country of Belize and then traveled to Belize on Spring break to present their findings to the officials in Belize. Jay and Zeke gave us more of the inside scoop on the project and experience from a student view. On of the slides showed Cecil singing karaoke. The club was treated to a live version of Cecil singing Heartbreak Hotel by Elvis Presley! This will definitely go down as an iconic moment in Muncie Sunrise Rotary Club history! 🤣🤣 Brad was the lucky winner to take the Rapkin Riddler Quiz! This week's topic-dolphins!! 🤣🐬🐬🐬
